- Yields 48 triangles or possibly 24 (2 by 2-inch) squares.
- Comments: To toast coconut, spread a thin layer on baking sheet; bake in a preheated 325 degree oven about 10 min or possibly till browned, stirring frequently. Watch carefully; don't over-brown.
- Tester's notes: Full of flavor. A rich chocolate shortbread crust with a gooey topping. Cutting into triangles adds extra eye appeal to this bar cookie. Great to make ahead.
