My apologies, I am not certain why this did not upload during Christmas break… \u00a0Either way, these are still good any time of the year!<\/p>\n

\"coconutBars\"<\/p>\n

My own Christmas baking has always centered around sweets based on icing and chocolate. For example: Frosted Sugar Cookies, Dipped Almond Bars, Mini Chocolates, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies… the list goes on. \u00a0A lot of the recipes I have made of Grandma’s for this Christmas focus on a different style of sweetness.. \u00a0Almond, Coconut, and Candied Fruits. \u00a0Keep in mind that I am not 100% sure she baked these items at Christmas; but they are definitely a change from my standard cookie tray!<\/p>\n

The Coconut Bars are awesome! \u00a0They came out of the oven so chewy and delicious. Om nom nom!!! \u00a0They have been in a sealed container in my fridge for 48 hours now [edit: they lasted, chewy, throughout Christmas!], and although not AS chewy, still very good and a great flavour! (In Grandma’s house – I doubt she ever refrigerated them! They make 16 large bars; with 8 boys; the treats wouldn’t even get the chance to be refrigerated for later!)<\/p>\n

Here is Grandma’s Recipe card:<\/p>\n
