Chocolate-Coconut Squares

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Butter or margarine - at room temperature
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Dark brown sugar
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	Flour - plus 1 tbsp.
2		Eggs
1 teaspoon	5ml	Vanilla extract
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup	93g / 3.3oz	Flaked or shredded coconut
6 oz	170g	Semisweet chocolate chips

Recipe Instructions

1. Cream butter and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar until smooth. Add 1 cup of the flour and combine until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Press dough into an 8- or 9-inch square glass baking dish.

2. Microwave on 100% power 3 to 5 minutes, rotating dish if necessary for even doneness. Crust should lose all moist spots and look like a cooked pie shell (it will not brown).

3. Combine eggs, vanilla, nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, remaining flour, and remaining brown sugar.

4. Spread mixture over crust. Microwave on 100% power 4 to 5 minutes, until set, rotating dish if necessary for even doneness.

5. Cool on wire rack, then cut into squares.

Makes 16 squares.

Note: You can substitute butterscotch chips for the chocolate, or use a combination of both.
