Glazed Lemon-Coconut Bars

Submitted by dragon reader

"The directions for this are the same as my favorite box mix, so I have to give it a try. I found it on bettycrocker.com. It is a Bisquick heart smart recipe, but I think that you can substitute regular ingredients if you want. The recipe originally said 16 bars, but I never got that many. The cooking time is actually 1hr. 50 minutes and it is also total time start to finish"
