Another Fathers day is around the corner and if you haven’t been able to plan anything nice or sweet for the Fathers in your life, you’d better get on it. I actually can’t believe how time is just passing by, I wrote this post Coconut Cupcakes for Fathers day nearly three years ago!
This recipe of Ginger, Coconut and Caramel Bars are the perfect little sweet treat to share with the special men on Sunday. It is pretty easy to put together and I suggest getting the little ones in the kitchen this weekend to help out. You can also just bake some cookies if you want, like these crunchy Caramel Walnut Cookies – to die for!
These sweet bites came out pretty rustic and very little effort is required. I used store bought ginger cookies combined with butter to serve as the base for the coconut and vanilla ice filling – obviously smothered in a can of cooked condensed milk and covered with toasted coconut…and more ginger crumble goodness…
Are you feeling the happy vibes, friends?
I hope every Dad gets spoiled rotten this Sunday, let me know how you will be enjoying this special day in the comments below.
