Clare and anyone else who is interested, here is my recipe for Coconut bars. It is not difficult, but takes two days to make them.
Ingredients
1 package of yellow, white or chocolate cake mix ( used Duncan Hines which is dairy or Manischevitz to make it parve)
1/2 C unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 C boiling water
2 tsp. vanilla (the real extract)
finely flaked coconut (if you live in the Cleveland area, Alesci's sells it)
1. Prepare a day ahead the cake batter according to the directions and bake in a 9X13" pan.
2. Place in freezer uncovered until frozen. Cut into small squares.
3. Syrup mix: Mix cocoa, sugar and boiling water together, stir and cook on top of stove for 10 minutes, just to boiling. Add vanilla, cover with waxed paper, cool for 2 hours.
4. Place finely flaked coconut in bowl, line cookie sheet with waxed paper with a rack on top.
5. Dip 5 bars of frozen cake in syrup, placing each one on the rack. In the same order, dip each one in coconut and with clean hands.
Makes about 3 dozen. Can be frozen and thawed when needed.
