How to Make Cherry Coconut Cracker Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help lift out the finished squares.
  2. In a one-cup measuring cup, whisk together 1 large egg and enough milk to reach the one-cup line.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed salted crackers, ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, ½ cup maraschino cherries (drained and chopped), ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, and the egg-milk mixture. Stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  7. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
