1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling.

I added a little bit of rum to the filling and it really gave the bars a nice boozy flavor.

I used crushed graham crackers instead of the vanilla wafers and they turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I loved these bars. The pineapple and macadamia nuts really balance out the coconut flavor.
