"A graham cracker crust is topped with chocolate chips, cherries and coconut in a chewy caramel layer." Who could resist this? I ran across this recipe on allrecipe.com and just had to make this different version of the magic cookie bar. Chocolate and cherries are my favorite. After I made this, I had to take half of it out to the shop for the guys or I would have ate the whole thing. Even the quys didn't turn their noses up at them and ate them all up, in one day.
