Ingredients
- Ingredients: Bottom Layer:
- 1 1/4 cups graham wafer crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- Second Layer:
- 2 cups medium grind coconut
- 1 tin sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- Icing:
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 4 tbsps butter or margarine
- 3 tbsps juice from maraschino cherries
Preparation
Step 1
rections: Bottom Layer:
Combine ingredients together and press quite lightly into 9x9 inch pan
with greased sides (this makes it easier to remove the side pieces).
Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Second Layer:
In clean bowl, combine coconut with condensed milk. Spread over bottom layer.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until a very slight tinge of light
brown begins to show on the edges.
Allow to cool before frosting. Icing:
Beat all together, adding a bit more juice if needed to make icing soft
enough to spread. Spread over cooled bars. Cover tightly and store
at least a day to set. Cut into 36 squares.
Note: Can be used the same day as baked but it is more difficult
to cut. If you do not have any cherry juice, use a bit of
red food coloring with 1/4 tsp cherry or
