Chocolate crusted Coconut bars


Heat the oven to 350ยบ.  Grease a 9X13" pan.




In a mixing bowl, make crust.  Combine these ingredients and spread over the bottom of the pan:
3/4 cup melted butter (1-1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 large egg and one extra yolk
dash of salt
1/3 cup flour

Bake crust for 12-15 minutes, until the edges set. Do NOT overbake.  Remove from oven and while it's cooling off a little, prepare topping.

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly:
3 large eggs
1-1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
2 cups shredded coconut

Carefully spoon topping over par-baked crust and spread evenly.  Sprinkle top with an addition cup of coconut.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the coconut begins to turn light golden.  Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting into squares.
