Coconut Bars

Martha - This is a recipe from Lillian that she found in one of her cookbooks dating 1964.  This is one example of how simple recipes were years ago.  I made these Coconut Bars and there is very little that I would change.  I did make the change from margarine to butter, I also used large shredded coconut which I found at a fresh market.  These bars come out like pecan pie but better, especially with the butter in the crust.

Lillian - This is a good recipe from an old cookbook that my sister sent to me for Christmas that year.   The book is "Favorite Recipes of Pennsylvania" , from Women's Club Leaders of PA.
