Cherry, choc & coconut tray bake

These tasted okay, although they are a bit too sweet for my taste, so I think dark chocolate would work better in place of white chocolate (or pineapple and rum in place of cherries to make them pina colada flavoured). They didn't cut into neat squares well at all, so they ended up looking quite messy. Perhaps they would look tidier if an ice cream scoop was used to make individual mounds (like a traditional coconut macaroon), so they no longer need to be cut?

Always a hit! Super simple and an all time favourite among family and friends. Each and every person is asking for recipe. Can't recommend enough. As per other comments I always add half of extra egg to add more moisture. I like to add 100g of cranberries for extra flavour too.

What a useful recipe. Changed slightly to use the leftover bits in packets of coconut, ground almonds,cherries, oats and chocolate drops. Added slightly less sugar a hint of almond essence. Turned out a treat. Just right for a weeks work of lunchboxes.

This was good with 3 eggs, but would be better with 4. Very very good overall though. Perhaps the recipe should be changed to 4 eggs!

I have never in my 32yrs in life baked anything. I woke up last weekend and I felt like baking. I immediately went online to find easy foods to bake but most of the websites were rubbish and found BBC Good Food the easiest, clearest and straightforward to follow. I went to my beloved Tesco to get all the ingredients and followed the exact instructions. I was a bit nervous but excited at the same time but the end result was wow! I was very proud of myself and had to video everything as proof because my family won't believe me as they know am more of a cleaner than a cook. They were all very impressed and am going to get ingredients today for my second attempt at baking...muffins (I love and eat them often). I'm excited to see if I can do justice to my favourite snack, I'll update but pray for me :)

I used exactly the ingredients as given and they are perfect. Desiccated coconut can vary in dryness though and of course eggs can vary in size so it's not surprising some people have problems while others don't. If it helps anyone, I used Crazy Jack's organic coconut (no additives) from Ocado and 2 large free range eggs. No crumbling, hold together perfectly and taste great.

I just made this and it's so easy and delicious! I must say I found it crumbly after 2 eggs too so added in another half of an egg (after beating) and it's perfect!

Such an easy recipe that you don't need to put a lot of effort into to get a lot out. Doubled ingredients and added an extra 2 eggs as I saw previous comments about it being crumbly. Came out a great texture and held together nicely. Took to a bake sale and not a drop was left.

As per others' suggestions here, I used two eggs, and deleted the chocolate, adding a tablespoon of golden syrup instead to add sweetness and moisture. Perfect - and very moreish!

Easy and Tasty! Instead of 200g of white chocolate, I used 180g of dark chocolate and slightly more sugar and it turned out great.
