How to Make Almond Coconut Bars
- **Crust:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into a greased and floured 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- **Topping:** While the crust is baking, in a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Stir in 1 cup slivered almonds and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
- Pour the topping evenly over the partially baked crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set properly.
