Balkan Lamingtons

What Lamingtons are to the English speaking world, are Coconut Chocolate Dessert Squares aka Scruffies (čupavci) to the people in Balkans. These busy, spongecake-like squares (first they swim in chocolate, and then drape themselves in coconut), are made in under an hour. And take even less time to eat. Do you like brownies? I like brownies. If brownies and steak end up being my last supper I’ll be good to go. And if you like brownies and you like coconut and you like spongecake, then you’ll LOVE scruffies. By the way, term scruffies was made up by yours only. It’s a lose translation of čupavci which literally translated means something like “the hairy ones.” All due to coconut jutting out from all ends of each square. And let’s face it, you probably wouldn’t eat something called “hairies.”
