These sound good but I am the only one in the house that eats coconut. Might have to make some anyway.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, The coconut is totally optional. The major brands sold in Argentina, like Havanna, do not roll them in coconut. Instead they are dipped in chocolate or white meringue. You may prefer them like that!
