Choco Coco Bars
YumThis is a simple dessert made from a few easy available ingredients.
When I was a kid, I used to make this with my sister and mother: dipping the sponge cake bars to chocolate icing, of course, was the favorite part especially if you know that me and my sister were allowed to do it by hands. No forks !
It is very similar to Lamingtons and I must say that no one in my family remembers where this recipe has came from. Anyway, there is no holiday that could be celebrated without this cute bites. It becomes a game if you let the children help. Sit with them, cut the bites and have some fun ! it is the best way to spend time with them: creating and eating together.
