Zucchini Crisp

I'm sorry I don't have a picture for this one. I served this tonight to my family and our friends. Only 2 of us knew that it wasn't apple crisp. It tasted great! We served it with vanilla ice cream, and our husbands went back for seconds-looked & tasted just like apple crisp. It was so yummy and made the house smell great!

8 cups cubed peeled zucchini
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
TOPPING:
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cold butter or margarine

In a bowl, combine the zucchini, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
For topping, combine brown sugar, oats and flour in a bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the zucchini mixture. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly and the zucchini is tender

Coconut Cones

¼ c margarine
2 c powdered sugar
¼ c evaporated milk
3 c shredded coconut
½ c chocolate chips

Melt margarine. Blend in sugar and milk. Add coconut. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper. When cold, shape into cone with fingers. If desired, dip bottoms in melted chocolate (milk or semi sweet chocolate chips are great). Use 1/2 cup, melt in microwave. After dipping the bottom in chocolate place back on waxed paper. Tastes like Mound candy bars.


* When I made these I came out with 2 dozen, but it could make more depending on the size you make them. You can shape them however you want. I made mine rectangular and then spread the melted chocolate on top with a spoon. I used 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Next time I might make them bite-size. Great treat for coconut lovers!
