These brownies are soooooo yummy and delicate blend of nutty coconut combined with lemon is divine!! At first I was a bit skeptical of the combo but after making these for my “Pamper Me Nail Party” I had everyone asking for the Toasted Coconut Lemon Brownies recipe!!

Now you all should know by now I am a “halfway Homemade” kinda girl!! So these start with my tried and true pantry staples a Lemon Cake mix!!

Now a word about toasting coconut….IT BURNS QUICKLY!! How do I know this well lets just say my kitchen was a bit smokey when I forgot I put the coconut in the oven to toast!!! LOL!!
