Coconut brownies (makes +-20, depending on size)
My gran always made these for my mom and her sisters when they were little, so when my mom found this hand written recipe in an old recipe book, we just had to share it! You will want to make a double batch, trust me!

tips...
* A substitute for treacle sugar is soft brown sugar
* No need to use a mixer, a wooden spoon and bit of effort will work just fine
* Use a tin/dish that has sides as you pour the icing over the brownies while they are still in the dish
