Chocolate Chip Macaroon Bars


(***note from me: I made this the first time with the full amount of sugar and it was sickening....I've cut the recipe back by 1/2 cup of sugar; 1/2 into the crust, 1/2 into the topping blend)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup plus 2 T. all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed and divided
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix together butter, one cup flour and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Pat into the bottom of a 13 x 9 greased baking pan.
Bake at 325* for 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl, blend together remaining flour, brown sugar, 
eggs, salt, pecans, coconut, vanilla and chocolate chips.
Spread mixture onto baked crust.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Cut into bars when cool. 

Makes 2 dozen
Sweet, chewy, crunchy and delicious!
