These are a really nice idea that goes together pretty quickly. While I made the dough as directed and used raspberry preserves, I didn't end up with a thick of a crust as I see in the phot. I'm not sure why. For the topping, I only used 1/2 cup additional shredded coconut, which was just right for us. I also would spray my pan with non-stick cooking spray, since the edges really stuck to the pan, and made it difficult to lift out the bars. Do not even think of cutting these until they are completely cooled, or you will end up with a mess! I will be trying these again, though. They were actually very tasty with a cup of coffee. Thanks for sharing! Made for Spring PAC 2013.
