      I'm not sure that cookies can get any easier than this! My kids helped make this so it was a lot of fun. We used the graham cracker crumbs from the store, so the "2 cups" was a really important piece of information in the recipe (thank you!). I didn't think the kids would like coconut too much, had they not been involved in the process, they may not even have noticed it. I used pecans that I toasted and pulverized so that we would have the flavor, but not the chunks...the cookies were delicious and they absolutely freeze perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

      Dana, these are out of this world! I mean it! They taste like they were made by a professional chef, NO KIDDING! I halved this recipe and made these this evening for my friends who had come over to celebrate my 2nd Zaar anniversary that is today! Plus, more than anything, it's the DANATHON!!!These cookie bars are very addictive!! I did not have semisweet chocolate chips, so, I used a little over 1/2 cup of Galaxy chocolate, grated(Galaxy happens to be my all-time favourite!). These took exact 18 minutes to bake in my preheated oven. Once baked, I removed the baking pan from the oven and only 30 minutes after doing so, I removed the cookie bars from the pan. Then, only after allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack, I served them. They vanished before I knew it;) The most vital information in this recipe is the quantity of Graham cracker crumbs in cups. I would have made a mistake had you not mentioned 2 cups. Since I had halved this recipe, I used an exact 1 cup of powdered(in my mixie) Graham cracker crumbs. I just hope that mentioning it as "24 Graham cracker crumbs" should not mislead anyone. I strongly stress that it's better to measure it in the cup, in my opinion. I want to end my review by saying that I send lots of positive energy your way everyday and pray for you. You are a "very" dear human being and a "very" precious one too, so, all I ask God on bended knees and hands folded in prayer, is to make you well ASAP! Amen! UPDATE: I made these today, the 16th of March, using Lindt white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips because the latter is very expensive plus not easily available in my part of the world. Anyways, these have come out very yummy and delicious; so, I'll be calling these "Dana's YummyLicious easy bars" from now on;)!

      I have loved these and made them for years. I remember the first time I had them 30 years sgo. My "Welcome To Work" treat at AM coffee break. The woman who made them retired about 14 years ago. She was over visiting this afternoon and I showed her Zaar, and the Dana link and everything. This recipie is easy and comes out good every time. Its no-fail.

      Super Wonderful!! These bars are delicious and easy to make. I omitted the walnuts and added a little extra chocolate chips and coconut. I will make these over and over again. Thank you Dana!!

      I'm sorry to say that these were not as good as I'd hoped they'd be. They're definitely very easy to make and the taste isn't bad, but you'll get better results if you use a recipe from boston.com called "coconut-pecan chocolate bars." (Perhaps this version has already made it to Recipezaar?) It uses the same ingredients (plus butter) and each is added separately, in layers. As a result, the flavors are more distinct and tasty. Toast the coconut for an even stronger coconut flavor.

      Well I just don't know what I did wrong but these just did not turn out for me at all!! Once cooled I could not get them out of the glass dish. I had to reheat it to cut it up and remove it. Once they cooled again they were tooth breaking hard. Almost impossible to chew. They had good taste and flavour but, with mine, you could loose your teeth biting into them. Glad others like it though.

      My DD wanted to make a new cookie for Christmas this year. I choose this. Everyone loves it. I had to leave the nuts out due to allergy. DS has never had coconut so I used 1/2 cup thinking that with the nuts being omitted that the coconut might be overwhelming. It was just right for us. I know I'll be making this again and again. Thank you.

      WOW !! So good !! The dough is very sticky but if you lightly butter your hands, you can easily pat it down in the pan. I may use a slightly smaller pan next time, so that the bars are a wee bit thicker.

      Although this is my first time making this type of cookie, I've eaten them before when others made them. I had no idea they were so easy to make! This is dangerous, as I will probably be making them all the time now. We really enjoyed these, and they made a nice addition to my cookie tray this holiday. Thanks for posting!

      In batch #1, I made it per the recipe and in batch #2, I added one cup of butterscotch chips. I also ran out of walnuts, so substituted pecans in both batches. We preferred the #2 batch, but both were delicious. This was a great addition to the trays of cookies I delivered for Christmas.

      Yum! At Chili's Restaurant, they serve this warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce and charge $5.95 a portion! (Question for Cindy Lynn -- how do you make your version of sweetened condensed milk?) Thanks!
