I made these bars to take to my mother-in-law’s this past weekend for lunch. Since that side of the family has grown with three weddings over the last three years and half of the grandchildren being college-aged or older, it can be a bit more difficult for everyone to be able to come back to his parents’ house on Christmas Eve so she began planning for a time when everyone could get together before Christmas. It can be a chore to arrange a time for 37 people who live in multiple states to all be together at one time, but I am so thankful that she does!

To make these bars, I started with my shortbread crust recipe and pre-baked it until it was nice and golden brown. While it baked, I mixed the ingredients for the coconut macaroons portion together. Once the crust was ready, I spread the macaroons mixture over the crust and baked it until it was lightly toasted. Once it cooled, I drizzled on melted chocolate and caramel sauce. Of course those are optional, but they sure to make these bars even more delicious, I think!
