Mound Bar Brownies

This combination of chocolate and coconut is way too good, it does not take long preparation, about 30 minutes more cooking time, really worth.
The thick and fudgy brownies are, the macaroon filling made it taste a little like a Mounds bar just to-die-for! Yum-o-licious !!!!

• 4 eggs

   carefully spread over batter in pan. Top with the remaining batter.
