Recipe - Maple Cream Coffee Treat

1 cup Firmly packed brown sugar
One fourth cup Chopped nuts
1/3 cup Mapleflavored syrup (or
dark corn syrup, in a
pinch)
One fourth cup Melted butter
1 pack (8 oz.) cream cheese;
softened
One fourth cup Powdered sugar
2 tablespoon Butter; softened
One half cup Coconut
2 cn (12 oz.) refrigerated flaky
biscuits

These aren't coffee flavored, they're like little individual coffee cakes.
If you have an espresso habit, these are the perfect accompaniment. Again,
these are from the Best of the Pillsbury BakeOff cookbook. The type of nut
isn't specified in the recipe, but I like to use walnuts. I tried almonds
once, but they didn't taste quite right, almost like they were too cooked.
But maybe I did something wrong cut or sliced up the almonds incorrectly or
something. :) I bet most of you folks could make it with almonds, and it
would still be heavenly.
