Delicious Dessert
I made a coconut macaroon recipe the other day using the recipe on the coconut bag.  Interesting to know, being I am always experimenting with ways to use alternative ingredients, is that if you are trying to form firm glossy peaks in egg whites, honey will defeat the egg.
The idea of using honey in place of sugar turned into a sloppy  (the honey and egg separated) mess.
Regardless of the consistency of the mixture, which was runny, I topped them with almonds and baked the concoction.  After a few minutes of cooling I coated them in dark chocolate and refrigerated them overnight.  The next day I was rewarded with a finger licking, bite-sized treat. MMM! MMM!
