Homemade Chocolate Coconut Bars

These Homemade Chocolate Coconut Bars are really easy to make, absolutely lethal on the waistline and a firm favourite with children and husbands.

The recipe is one which is passed on and I got it from a work colleague back in the 1980s.  There was no internet to consult for recipes, I wrote the recipe into a hard-backed notebook which is full of little gems I have collected over the year.
