Coconut Chocolate Brandy Crackles...and Awards


I was browsing through Konstant Kraver @ The Sweet Tooth Chronicles
blog last week, and I happened to bump into this yummy dessert...which is a "no bake"...and oh, so easy to make. With the permission of Konstant Kraver. I befriended Konstant Kraver through Foodbuzz, a while back, and have been admiring her's/his gorgeous and fun desserts, but lost touch, even though we are following each other's blogs. If you do not comment on another's blog, chances are they will not comment on yours, either.

There's way too many food blogs out there and sometimes it's hard to keep up. I'm one of those people that like to make friends easily, but as the saying goes..."it takes two to tango"...if  they don't want to continue, there's nothing you can do to force the issue. Again, I have to mention the Guest Post issue...if this is a guest post, then it's "an animal of a different breed"...because, I don't require my guests to do anything or make anything other than what catches MY EYE...and ask them if I could feature that on my blog, and mention their blog, of course. It's that easy!

They don't have to do any "write up" to be "gushing" about me, or my blog, it's my HONOR to represent them!
I bought all the ingredients to make this easy, fun, and yummy dessert...Kellog's Rice Krispies is what you need, and the rest of the ingredients, you are most likely to have on hand, except for the flaked coconut, which I had to buy. Do try this recipe out, and do visit Konstan't Kravor's The Sweet Tooth Chronicles, and mention that I sent you...and be a friend, and follow their blog, as well!

I would like to share this dessert with you, and for the recipe, click over to Konstant Kraver's blog.

Just so we're on the same page and  understanding, Konstant Kraver left me a comment on Foodbuzz, regarding the use of the fabulous photos, and link to the recipe!

Elisabeth,
Thank you so much for my awards. I am truly honored.

I love the recipe for these no bake bars! Good for you in Florida, and for me, if it ever warms up here in Chicago. Thanks so much for sharing.

Lizzy said...

What a great idea for a guest post! Coconut and chocolate??? Oh, yum! And no bake? Wow. I'll have to go peek at the recipe.

You are so right about so many great blogs and not having the time to visit them all! I am in the midst of a big 2 week volunteer stint...and the floor of my kitchen is being replaced...so I am without computer/refrigerator/microwave access for the next 12 hours...again...sigh...I hope to get through a few food buzz posts...but for now, I'm doing the best I can. I hope to visit your awarded bloggers soon...many are my favorites. You're such a good friend to us all, Lizzie. Have a great weekend! xoxo
