  1. All sounds sooooo yummy. A few years ago, when baking for my daughters’ school bake sale, I thought; “graham crackers and chocolate….2/3 of a s’more already”. So I just subbed out mini marshmallows for coconut (put them on during the last few minutes of baking, watching carefully for that nexus of perfect brown-ness and melted, but still individual marshmallow-ness) and; voila! S’mores Magic bars. I bet it would work even including the coconut. Oh, also, letting them sit completely untouched overnight improved the texture and sliceability of the marshmallow topping.
