Coconut Bounty Cookie Bars. A super easy cookie bar with a chocolate cookie crumb base and a sweet coconut centre, all topped with a luscious chocolate layer. Very freezer friendly too.

Sometimes one recipe inspires another and these Coconut Bounty Cookie Bars are a perfect example.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I posted a recipe for Coconut Dream Bars. That recipe was a very fond remembrance of cookie treats from my childhood.

Not surprisingly, a lot of people recognized the old recipe and set out to make them for themselves. I received quite a few messages from folks telling me how much they enjoyed them.

Fine cut dried (desiccated) unsweetened coconut is the type to use in this recipe.

The recipe quickly became one of our most popular new cookie recipes of the year.

As I often do, I always think of new twists on old recipes. I find many times they can be even better than the original.

Some people will undoubtedly feel that was about these Coconut Bounty Cookie Bars. They are sort of a double chocolate version of those very popular Coconut Dream Bars.
