    My mother passed away recently. She loved coconut in desserts. Her birthday was May 3, 1934, the day before the printed recipe for Dream Bars, May 4, 1934, shown in this video. I feel like she wanted me to see it. Thank you so much.

    It's funny you brought this up. When I was young, my mom had a book called Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. When she was not making traditional foods, she would use this book for other foods and treats. Growing up, she thought she would pass these down to my sisters. As we got older, her books became lost to time. To my mother's surprise, I was baking and cooking as I got older. When I turned 45, my sister gave me one of the greatest gifts ever. She found that same cookbook my mom used when we were kids and bought it for me. I have tried to keep it in good condition, but it being old, the books are trying to die on me, lol.

It’s basically the same, except for we add more brown sugar, chopped pecans, coconut, and chocolate chips to it kind of like a pie crust that you make, and then pour a filling into and then it has a brownie consistency.
