Sunday is my mother-inlaws birthday as well as Mother's day. She loves cocount and chocolate and several years ago I made her a Peter Paul Mounds cake which she loved. I had found the recipe in a magazine. I would like to make it for her again this year but I cannot find the recipe. Does anyone have it or one similar?
