Alabama NewsCenter — Recipe: Cherry Coconut Pecan Bars

The only thing that’s better than just how delicious these Cherry Coconut Pecan Bars are is how easy it is to make them.

The most difficult part of this recipe is making the crust and getting it pressed into the pan. But here are a few tips for making it a little easier.

After mixing the ingredients together for the crust you may ask yourself if you used the correct size pan, LOL. Yes, this amount of dough will cover the bottom of the whole 9-by-13. If you are having a little difficulty getting it spread out, try dropping it in spoonfuls across the bottom of the ungreased pan and then use your hand to press it around the edges. If you find the dough sticky, you can also spritz your fingers or a silicone spatula with nonstick cooking spray and that should make spreading it out a bit easier. But let’s be honest: With this shortbread crust, nobody is gonna care if it’s pretty or not.
