For this Throwback Thursday I am featuring one of my absolute favorite cookie bars to create when I am in a pinch and I need a dessert quick!  
Company is coming in a hour and you want to serve up something sweet. Your pantry and fridge are empty of ready to go snacks, what do you do? Cookie bars are the perfect solution! They are rich, thick and full of flavor like a cookie with a fraction of the work! Stir up these mounds cookie bars packed full of coconut and chocolate in no time at all! These mounds cookie bars go great with a cup of coffee or a juice box!
