Coconut Bar Recipe

"Kokosnuss-schnitten"

This easy Coconut Bar recipe is one of my favorite holiday baking recipes.

It's one of the easier recipes for bar cookies that's become one of our German Christmas foods - rather, desserts!

You can substitute almonds or hazelnuts for the pecans if you wish.

If possible, use flaked coconut rather than shredded. This will make it easier to cut the bars neatly. These bars would also look (and taste) absolutely delicious if chocolate were drizzled on top!
