Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Butter -- room temperature
1 c Dark brown sugar
1 c Flour -- +1 tb
2 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Pecans or walnuts -- chopped
1 c Flaked or shredded coconut
6 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
Cream butter and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar until smooth. Add 1 cup
of the flour and combine until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Press
dough into an 8 or 9" square glass baking dish.
Microwave on 100% power 3 to 5 minutes, rotating dish if necessary
for even doneness. Crust should lose all moist spots and look like a
cooked pie shell (it will not brown).
Combine eggs, vanilla, nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, remaining
flour, and remaining brown sugar.
Spread mixture over crust. Microwave on 100% power 4 to 5 minutes,
until set, rotating dish if necessary for even doneness.
Cool on wire rack, then cut into squares.
Yield: 16 Bars
Note: You can substitute butterscotch chips for the chocolate, or use
a combination of both.
