I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted crushed pretzels instead of chopped walnuts. They were still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these squares were surprisingly good. The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I love how versatile these squares are. You can add different fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips to change up the flavor.
