Ok, I've gotten hooked on these.... they are like chunks of brownies coated with a cream-cheese type frosting and rolled in coconut so they are 'roundish'. Has anyone tried them?

Oh no, now I must search for these.

Maybe bake brownies in a smaller pan so they are deeper, like bake in 2 loaf pans. Then scoop out the baked brownies with a small ice cream scoop and then proceed like you described with icing and coconut.

I've never seen them, but I made "goblin eyes" once - brownies in the shape of

eyeballs. The trick is to slightly underbake the brownies (or use a "fudgey" type) and then roll them into a ball GENTLY between your hands.

When they cool, I'd frost and before the icing dries, roll in the coconut flakes. They sound good!

That sounds like it, but it's a VERY light - more cake-like brownie.
