- I tried an approach of melting the stick of margarine using the microwave on
- full for 48 seconds. While it was melting, I measured and mixed up the dry
- ingredients. I then poured half the liquid over the premixed coconut-sugar
- mixture; mixed some and poured in the remainder. This worked well for me,
- but my wife insists that the listed method is easier.
- .PP
- Your clean thumb is the best way to make the indentations.
- .PP
- Be sure to keep them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
