Just made these and they are sooo yummy! I made mini ones and cooked for 15 min, my 21month old son devoured 3!
They smell amazing in the oven now. How long can they stay on an air tight container. Need them for 2 data time. Or should I just freeze them ?
What kind of coconut? Dried, fresh, oil???
Hi Anna, sorry about that – dessicated coconut 🙂
