Ummmm, yum! Heaven. The glaze turns almost caramel-y and is so delicious over the toasted coconut. Thank you so much Kelley, for sharing this recipe with us! I don't often make a gourmet breakfast (okay, let's be honest...I don't ever make any sort of breakfast, let alone a gourmet breakfast), but this recipe just might make me change my mind!

Please go visit Kelley at her blog, or on Twitter, or on Facebook, and say hello. She loves making new blog friends and I promise you will just adore her! I do, and y'all know I have great taste! ;-)
