Butterscotch Bark

Submitted by PanNan

"These bark cookies have a coconut/pecan/chocolate chip topping. They are so easy to make, which is a good thing because they don't last long! The recipe is similar to one I found in Martha Stewart's Food Everyday magazine. This recipe is a great way to use up those Southern U.S. pecans."

PanNan, This is delicious. It doesn't need THAT many pecans and coconut. 1/2 of each was more than enough! Thanks. Dottie5

Made these for a bake sale & tried them before sending them off. They were quite good; really satisfied my sweet tooth and I plan to make them again at Christmas. Thanks for posting!!
