Made this up for the DS to take to his music recreation group were they enjoyed it. I was lucky enough to be able to use graham crackers (used 2 of the three packets in the box) and used a 23cm square pan. Set in the refrigerator and was easy to slice and remove from the tin once set. Thank you Gerry, made for Aussie/NZ Swap #36 January 2010.

This is one of my favorite Squares. I have been making it for years and it has been taken to many pot lucks, showers, office paries and on and on. I often add a bit of food color to the icing to suit the occasion. a bit of red (for pink) for christmas or green for christmas or st. Patrick's day and of course white =for a baby shower (or pink or blue). It has been our favorite square for many years and to good for other zaar chefs to pass by.

Christmas was over when I made this,,,,and I will make it again before next Christmas! My dh loves coconut so I try to find different ways to use it. We all loved this and it's really easy to put together. I followed your directions completely with no problems. This is very rich, but really very good! Thanks Gerry for sharing this :)

<p>I live in Saskatchewan where hospitality and food go hand in hand. Community suppers, Beef Pit Barbecues, Church suppers, potlucks, tea and bake sales, booths at the curling and hockey rinks in winter, the ball games in summer. What is truly the spirit of Saskatchewan is that these events are for most part the efforts of community volunteers sharing their time as well as their best make and takes. Small communities along with the larger centres across the province are well known for their turkey suppers, cabbage rolls, perogies and overflowing dessert tables. Homemade of course! <br /> <br />I love preparing meals for my family and friends and in the sharing of good recipes be they mine or that of another. My posted recipes are recipes that are family favorites. My reviews here on Zaar allow that I have been most fortunate in the choosing of the recipes I have made. Without doubt we all love those over the top desserts and dishes to serve on special occasions and for those fives are a given. For me equally important are the recipes used in the daily meal preparation. Recipes enjoyed by my family be it a simple soup, salad or casserole are right up there with the 'over the tops' and share equal billing. Yes five star ratings ... if my family enjoyed, I would serve to invited guests, take to a pot luck, coffee hour or bake sale. <br /></p>
<p>Aside from cooking and baking I admit that my interest in gardening exceeds that of the norm. I collect cookbooks, my favorites being the community and church cookbooks that have everyone sharing their favorite recipes. Enjoy yard sales on occasion but tend to keep my hands in my pockets, cannot completely resist when it comes to the glassware, baskets and of course cookbooks. I take great pleasure in reading with non fiction being my first choice when it comes to the choosing.</p>
