#1974 - Chewy Coconut Bars

(by Shirley McNevich)

3/4 cup Domino's powdered sugar + extra for sprinkling
3/4 cup Crisco/Parkay mixture--fill measuring cup to 3/4 cup, half Crisco and half Parkay margarine
1 1/2 cups flour
2 beaten eggs
1 cup Domino's dark brown sugar
2 TBSP flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup Baker's angelflake coconut

In a bowl add powdered sugar, Crisco/Parkay and 1 1/2 cups flour--mix with your hands or with a pastry blender. Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan. Press the powdered sugar mixture on the bottom of the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. In a bowl add brown sugar, beaten eggs, baking powder, 2 TBSP flour, vanilla, salt, chopped walnuts and coconut--stir until mixed. When you remove the cake pan from the oven after baking the crust, immediately spread the coconut mixture evenly over the top of the crust. Return to oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool completely. Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top if you wish. Cut into squares or bars.
