Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)
Maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts (if using) in a separate bowl.
Once the crust is done baking, pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the hot crust.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the baking dish.
Once cooled, cut into bars and garnish each bar with a maraschino cherry, if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
