Chocolate-Almond-Coconut Macaroons
I needed a quick dessert that was easy to make. Most importantly, I had to find a recipe I had ingredients for since I couldn’t get to the grocery store. I had wanted to make these macaroons for a long time, but never found the time. (Too many recipes, too little time.). These are so delicious!!!!! If you're a coconut lover, this is for you.
