In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, 2 tablespoons of the coffee, egg, 1/2 cup macadamia nuts and coconut until soft dough forms. Spread dough in bottom of pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or just until set. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

To serve, remove bars from pan by lifting foil; cut into 5 rows by 4 rows. Place each bar on an individual dessert plate. Spoon warm drizzle over the top of each bar. Sprinkle with macadamia nuts. Serve immediately. Store bars tightly covered at room temperature. Store drizzle covered in refrigerator.

Success: Use the premium or premier white chocolate baking bars found next to other chocolate in the baking aisle rather than the white candy coating.
