Sharing is caring!

One of my favorite things to do is bake with my kids. My daughter in particular has inherited my cooking and baking bug, and we are having fun experimenting with new ideas! These Halloween Coconut Macaroons are so much fun to make and eat! I can see these as a perfect party food – or add one or 2 to a cellophane baggie for a fun favor or gift! The nice thing about them is that you can change up the colors of the sprinkles and chocolate to match any occasion!
