I got this brownie recipe from a magazine clipping several years ago. It must have been a Pillsbury recipe because the recipe calls for a Pillsbury brownie mix. Its very good and different. I have not made this one in the past year so do not have a picture but these are pretty as well as delicious. The dark chocolate brownies have a cream cheese icing and I sprinkle more coconut on top of the frosting. These are nice enough for the holidays and easy enough for a picnic.
