Today was a dull day for me and I was so clueless what to do. From
morning I was in a not so good mood, well lets not talk about it.. Past few
days my hubby had been asking me to make Coconut
Burfi and I was keeping this in mind but felt like trying something different (sometimes want things my way). I also wanted something that will be simple and take less time (asking too much), my quest ended up in this ~ Soft & easy Coconut Recipe. They are the most yummy and delicate darlings that one can taste. So much so my hubby came after work and was totally surprised and truly loved it

I remember back in India we used to get
coconut macaroons in ‘old-fashioned bakeries’, where they used to make these
fat chunky coconut biscuits that were hard to chew and you can literally feel
the chunky coconut bits (which I totally dislike). Let me tell you that these
are not so, they are little firm on the
outside and soft in the inside. If you are someone who loves the chocolate
Bounty or any other coconut based chocolate you
will definitely love this one.
