RECIPE: REC: Coconut Cocoa Crisps, I have a question about this recipe

[woody]

I've made this recipe before and they bwere a big hit but I couldn't find "unsweetened" coconut so I ended up using regular and rinsing it then letting it dry.

Is that really necessary? Could I use the sweetened? How might it affect the recipe?

Thanks!!!!

These sound great. You can definitely use the sweetened coconut - no need to rinse. The

result will be a little sweeter, of course, but not overly so. It will also be a little more moist. If you want to keep the sugar down, use bittersweet instead of semisweet chocolate.

Wonder how it would taste with toasted coconut?

If I only have regular sweetened coconut, I just decrease the sugar a little

You can get unsweetened at any health food store, Whole Foods, Henrys, Sprouts

There's no added sugar to the above recipe, so I suggested using bittersweet chocolate instead

of semi-sweet.

Thank you all so much, I will use sweet coconut w/bittersweet chocolate.
