I'm sorry to say that these were not as good as I'd hoped they'd be. They're definitely very easy to make and the taste isn't bad, but you'll get better results if you use a recipe from boston.com called "coconut-pecan chocolate bars." (Perhaps this version has already made it to Recipezaar?) It uses the same ingredients (plus butter) and each is added separately, in layers. As a result, the flavors are more distinct and tasty. Toast the coconut for an even stronger coconut flavor.

I'm not sure that cookies can get any easier than this! My kids helped make this so it was a lot of fun. We used the graham cracker crumbs from the store, so the "2 cups" was a really important piece of information in the recipe (thank you!). I didn't think the kids would like coconut too much, had they not been involved in the process, they may not even have noticed it. I used pecans that I toasted and pulverized so that we would have the flavor, but not the chunks...the cookies were delicious and they absolutely freeze perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

Dana, I made these for my friends little boy, he gets his black belt in Tae Kwon Do tomorrow and I wanted to take him some treats after the ceremony. Thanks for the great, easy recipe!
