I made some additions, and hopefully the GKids will love them! Added 20 ozs. Of Pineapple tidbits and 2/3 C. Chopped Almonds and 1/2 C. Rice Krispies! At 12 minutes, out of the oven, they had a great Stand-Up appearance, and I believe Presentation is Key! Oh, and of course, I prayed and added full Cup Love
I baked the first 6 to see how they taste. I couldn’t taste the pineapple or coconut so I added more pineapple in and coconut sprinkled on top with sugar for the second test. Upon tasting them I added more pineapple, coconut and dried cranberries. Then I could taste the pineapple a little more and I just love cranberries. I wont make this recipe again but thanks for sharing.
These are very cake-like, and bland. They would be great for whoopie pies perhaps, but the pineapple and coconut are lost in dough. Not something I would do again, but it did sound good.
The are delicious just as the are. My customers love them. Bea
