How To Make no bake tropical bars

Remove from heat and add the raisins, coconut, pecans and vanilla. Mix well.
Step 3

Line a 11 1/2 x 7 1/4 x 2 1/2 inch dish with whole graham crackers. Cover with a portion of cooked filling, then another layer of graham crackers, or until all filling has been used. Let last layer be of graham crackers, so you can ice the top.
