We serve these for the holidays every year and they are always a huge success!!!

This is delicious. I used some leftover brownies that I broke into crumbs in the food processor instead of the graham crackers. It worked out wonderfully.

My family always gives these treats high marks! They are sweet and gooey. We love them topped with chopped pecans and still warm from the oven! I use more margarine to form a more solid crust (or just firmly press it together), otherwise the graham crackers crumble when cut into squares. Tip: Per recipe, 4 oz. coconut = about 1-1/3 cups flaked coconut.

Very nice dessert (we don't like walnuts, so I subbed almonds for the nuts). It had a great taste. I gave 4 stars, because I followed the direction to sprinkle the crumbs over the melted butter, but it did not form a solid crust...it was very crumbly which made it next to impossible to cut into nice squares. Next time, I'll mix the butter in with the crumbs and press down into the pan so the crust is more solid, bake for a few minutes so the crust can set, and then proceed with your directions(kind of like a cheesecake crust). This was very addictive. Thank you!

I tried it and it was wonderful. My grandmother actually gave me this recipe. I only had white chocolate chips on hand so I used that and it was very yummy! My grandma's recipe calls for 1 stick of butter. Next time I will use the amount in your recipe :)
