Ingredients




1 cup flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar - (packed)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups coarsely-chopped pecans
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 cups brown sugar - (packed)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons flour

Preparation

1 For the Bottom Layer: Combine flour, sugar and salt in medium bowl. Cut butter into mixture until fine and grainy. Press this crumbly mixture into lightly greased 8-inch-square pan. Bake at 350 degrees 10 minutes. 2 For the Top Layer: Combine pecans, coconut, sugar, eggs, vanilla and flour, using wooden spoon to blend. Spread mixture over baked bottom layer. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. 3 Remove and cool before cutting. (Slightly chilled or semi-frozen squares cut better.) 4 This recipe yields 12 (2-inch) squares.
