Yield 2 dozen bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cut in tbsp
3 tablespoons cold water

2 2/3 cups shredded coconut (7 oz. bag)

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use fresh raspberries instead of frozen. I think it would make the bars even more flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these bars. The raspberries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the coconut.

The raspberry coconut bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my friends loved them.
