Cherry Coconut Bars image

Just another wonderful recipe from Light & Tasty that I adjusted to our taste. Although this recipe does have the coconut in it, the cherry is the most powerful flavor. I would recommend coconut extract, instead of vanilla, if you are going for the coconut taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.
