Kelli Williams

The recipe for Chocolate Revel Bars is from Kelli Williams, my lovely neighbor who sent me a batch of these really delicious cookies. Kelli actually had this recipe for many years and just recently decided to make them. The original source of the recipe is from the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book circa 1990.

Kelli is a beautiful caring mother. Together with her husband Jeff, they parent 5 gorgeous children. So Kelli has her hands full but still finds the time to bake and make other treats for her family.

Kelli's Chocolate Revel Bars



Kelli substituted flaked coconut for chopped walnuts or pecans because that is what she had in her pantry. It is added after spreading the chocolate.

Instead of a 15X10X1 inch baking pan, Kelli used a 13"X9" pan. It worked fine. Kelli suggests that if you use the 13X9 inch pan, bake for 5-10 minutes longer, the until the top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will still look moist).
You may get a larger yield of chocolate bars in the 15X10X1 pan.
