This is light and creamy. It isn't a strong Pina Colada flavor but it IS reminiscent of the classic drink. It is good garnished with toasted coconut and some dried pineapple

I'm not a fan of coconut, so I wasn't sure if I would like these squares. But I was pleasantly surprised! The coconut flavor is very subtle.

These squares are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squares turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

I'm allergic to pineapple, but I was still able to enjoy these squares by using canned pineapple tidbits that had been packed in water.

These squares are the perfect way to use up leftover pineapple. I always have some leftover after making a pineapple upside-down cake.
