This is the most delectable, scrumptious recipe for Chocolate Coconut Squares. The recipe was passed on to me by my mom, she has it hand written on a beautiful piece of writing paper and it is kept safely in her recipe folder. I also write my recipes on hand writing paper and always note where they came from. This process of writing out recipes is very special to me, that they are written and not simply printed out on a printer, the written word is so much more meaningful... When I was little I remember her baking these wonderful squares for us. It was always such a treat! You really have to try them, (even if just once ;) Jenna made up a batch this morning and we are all enjoying them with our morning tea:) They could even be given as a homemade gift at Christmas time...

225 grams of butter
