White Chocolate Caramel Coconut Bars

Wow, I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything. . .probably because it has been. I’m feeling a little rusty.  I’ve really missed it and have a lot of baking to catch up on.

It’s been an amazing, crazy busy past three weeks which is why I took some time off.

My husband and I spent two and a half weeks in Italy with friends. It was an incredible trip and I can’t wait to share some of the highlights with you.  At the same time I was trying to get ready for our trip, I was also trying to get my son ready to leave on his mission 9 days after we got home from our trip . . . which happens to be tomorrow (trying not to cry). We had an open house after his farewell yesterday and I fed  about 250 people.  It was complete chaos but we made it through thanks to an incredible amount of help from friends and family.  I couldn’t have done it without them.  I feel really blessed to have such great family and friends.

I think I’ve recovered from jet lag, now I just have to get through dropping off my son at the airport tomorrow and saying good-bye for two years.  Once I get through that, I will get back into the swing of things and probably drown my sorrows in baking.

After 17 days of not baking, I made cookies first and these bars second.  They are fabulous and I mean really, really fabulous.  I made a second batch for my son’s open house and they were gone in about 53 seconds.  I didn’t even get one.  I posted a picture on Instagram and had several people ask if they were on my blog, so here you go guys.

Quick, easy peasy to make, gooey, rich and completely scrumptious, that’s about all that needs to be said.

Go make these, you will be glad you did.
