Mary Ann's notes: Excellent (in fact, mouth-watering
when I think of it). Needs no substitutions at all,
but I may try using creme de mint flavoring instead of
the coconut another time. Even if we are not dieting,
most of us appreciate the chance to shave a few
calories and fat. I would advise using a sugar
substitute that does not leave a saccharin aftertaste.
Of course, you could let the calories fly to the winds
and just use normal ingredients just as well. This
recipe could easily be doubled and served in squares.
I'm even considering trying it on some other type of
base.
