MACAROON POLKA DOTS

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! This is my favorite holiday -- I hope you're doing something fun today! If you need a last-minute party treat, this recipe will definitely be a crowd-pleaser!

I absolutely love coconut (even though my husband hates it), so when I wanted dessert, I turned to the 15^th Annual Bake-Off cookbook for macaroons!

Macaroon Polka Dots

1/3 C butter

½ C well-packed brown sugar

2 eggs, separated

1 tsp vanilla

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1 C flour

1 tbsp sugar

¾ C sweetened condensed milk

½ C chocolate chips

2 C grated coconut

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add 2 egg yolks, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Blend in flour. Spread in a greased 11x7 or 9x9 pan. Bake at 325^oF for 15 minutes.

Beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in milk, chocolate chips, and coconut. Spread over base in pan. Bake at 325^oF for 25 to 30 minutes until light browning occurs. Cool and cut into bars.

I know macaroons may not seem like anything special, but these were so tasty! I loved them, and several of my husband’s coworkers (and his boss) loved them! I will definitely make these again!
