Tips:
- Use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut. Just be sure to toast it in the oven before using it to bring out the flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the bars firmly into the pan. This will help them hold together better.
- Chill the bars before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and will help prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3 days.
