I have made these for years but the crust I use is not at all dry. It calls for 1/2 c. butter (not melted) and only 1 tbls. of sugar. Also cut back on the sugar in the topping which keeps them less sweet. Still a great bar, but I feel (personal preference) the base is not quite so dry.

These are quite good - not too sweet, not too tart. I really enjoyed the "cakey" crust. But, I just felt that something was missing - maybe a dollop of whipped cream...

While I liked the taste, my pineapple loving hubby did not. He felt it was too dry. Maybe I did something wrong.

This was a very good tasting bar,however,I think next time I will make it with a shortbread-type crust as I did not particularly care for the cake-like texture on this one.This is definately a keeper though!!Good tasting!!

Very easy to make with ingredients I typically have on hand. The flavor of the pineapple and coconut blend well together. It was a little too sweet for our tastes, but I only had sweetened pineapple on had, so I used it. Will definitely make this one again and try it with unsweetened pineapple. Thanks for posting such a quick and easy recipe!
