Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut. Fresh coconut has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than dried coconut. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Toast the macadamia nuts. Toasting the macadamia nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the squares until they are golden brown. The squares should be golden brown on top and the edges should be slightly crispy. If the squares are not done baking, they will be too soft and gooey.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian macadamia coconut squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to picnics to holiday parties. With their sweet and nutty flavor, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
