I substituted chocolate chips for the walnuts since I didn't have any and these bars were delicious!

These are really, really good! Hubby was wanting chocolate and I wasn't, so I sprinkled chocolate chips on half of the pan before baking. He liked that side better, but I prefered the non-chocolate side. However you make them, they are great!

After Christmas Holidays I was looking for something to use up the extra maraschino cherries & coconut, and this was perfect. The bars are so simple to make; so light with an amazing flavor. The only thing is after 3 or 4 days they start to dry out. There is only 2 in our family so next time I will half the recipe if just making for us. Great recipe. Just wished I had found it before Christmas, but it will perfect for anytime.

Easy to make, everyone enjoyed them. Not a WOW, but a terrific alternative to chocolate.

These bars turned out great. I also added a few chocolate chips for my husband. The bars are pretty sweet. I thought perhaps the bars might also work well with regular dried cherries to add tartness.

I love, LOVE, this recipe! It reminds me of the bars I ate as a kid. What I like best about this recipe is that the bars bake up moist and chewy NOT wet. The original recipe called for an 8 x 8 OR 9 x 9 pan. However, when baked in that size pan, the bars baked up too wet and gooey for my taste. This recipe is PERFECT as is and requires no changes. Thank you!!! I will make these often!

Wow -- this is so easy and delicious and pretty. The perfect thing I was looking for to round out my Christmas-cookie routine. I did add a few dark chocolate chips because I love the taste of chocolate-coconut-cherries, but the recipe would be just as delicious without the chocolate.
