These buttery bars are best when VERY fresh---and then they're
delicious. Shortbread bottoms with pecan-coconut-toffee tops. An optional
layer of chocolate is recommended for chocoholics. Heat oven to 350.
For crust: Cream butter and sugar. Blend in flour. Press into bottom
of ungreased 9"x13" pan. Bake 10 minutes.
TOPPING: Beat eggs. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour
topping over baked crust. Bake 25 minutes or until topping is golden
brown. Cool slightly and cut into
36 squares.
VARIATION: Pour 2 cups of chocolate chips over warm shell before
adding coconut topping.
NOTE: These do NOT freeze well---they tend to dry out in the freezer.
