Cherry Coconut Delight Recipe

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 9 x 9 inch baking pan, making sure to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, oats, sugar, and flour. Add the butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture is well combined and crumbly, like coarse sand. Press about two-thirds of this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top crumb layer is a deep golden brown. The filling should be bubbling slightly.

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This is important for the bars to set properly before cutting.
