One of the most decadent delights that I have found so far came in the form of a cookie called the Killer Bar. I found it at this quaint little health foods store hidden in a dumpy strip mall on the south end of the island. It’s loaded with locally grown coconut and macadamia nuts. The farmers’ market here was unlike any farmers’ market that I had ever seen because I was able to find macadamia nuts and coconut right off the tree.

How could they not? They are fudgy, they are chewy, they are minty and they are oh so chocolatey. Someone recently asked me what the most popular recipe on the blog is.

I originally planed to roll the raw cookie dough in crushed peppermint candies before baking but the candy canes didn’t hold up so well during the 10 minute baking process. One last note, after having made fudgy brownie cookies multiple times now, I have noticed that some brownie mixes work better than others.
