Black-bottom coconut bars....

[j_cheney]

I tried making these and they turned out to be excellent. Not too sweet, just the right amount of chocolate. I've decided that coconut is OK. Much to my surprise, I did not overcook the bottom brownie-like layer. (I'm brownie impaired) What a shocker!
Here's the recipe.

Olives, however, I have not been able to convince myself to try. They smell absolutely vile, and I really can't get past that. I bought a black olive tapenade for displaced_texan and the smell is revolting. (He likes it, though. He can't smell it.)

I think I have finished a rough draft of the May story, but have not yet figured out a name. The Persistence of Vision? Who knows. It is definitely too long for the Mundane issue of Interzone, but I'll clean it up and shop it around somewhere else. Revisions loom before me, as I have several stories in the first draft stage, waiting to be caressed and stroked until they're presentable. I should do that now....

Is it wrong that upon reading the title of the post I automatically assumed it was referring to a place you can get alcohol, and so read on to find out what a black-bottom coconut drink was?

Pina-colada with chocolate syrup?

Yes, it's wrong, very wrong! Bad boy!

Are coconut bars found in Palm Springs, then?
