Power Squares

Submitted by Gabo6868

"Another recipe I'm going to try making for my on-the-run breakfasts. These are the closest I could find to a power square that I've had at a little concession stand, except I think theirs had coconut in it too. The times are completely guessed, because the recipe does not specify."
