Brownies with Sticky Mounds Filling






9 My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. 
10 If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the LORD. 
11 O LORD, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed. Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.  - Isaiah 26:9-11




1 box of brownies with chocolate chips, baked according to box and cooled( place in freezer to slightly harden)

Filling:
1 c Coconut
1/8 c Eagle brand
