Don't give a recipe a bad review when you jack it up with your own substitutions!!! I have made this several times as written and they turn out great with requests for the recipe ...

I'm attending a tropical-themed party and decided to try this recipe as a take-along. Very disappointed in the texture and the overall flavor. Would not make again.

I made this because I happened to have some crushed pineapple left over from another recipe. I really liked this! It is more of a cake than what I would consider a bar. I added a little more coconut, a little more pineapple, and added 1 cup of flour rather than 3/4 c. I would make this again if I happened to have the ingredients on hand.

I rated this four stars only because I made a few changes: I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup butter; I used vanilla-NOT rum-and with the absence of coconut, used oats. The pineapple was in chunks, so I chopped them smaller to make 2 cups (Resembling more of pineapple bits). Since I made a 9x13” pan, it had to bake 30-50 minutes. It was very moist, very pine-apply (I used Dole), and very yummy! Everyone loved it!

It was way too sweet for us. But I used coconut oil and it worked good, just need to reduce the sugar in the recipe next time.

I made this dish for a graduation party and it was a rave! People loved the light, refreshing taste on a warm summer day. I would certainly top it with vanilla bean ice cream next time I serve it in a smaller setting.

very bland...you couldn't really taste the pineapple, and the coconut didn't really stand out either. next time i make this, i will add a little more sugar, as well as coconut...
