Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Coconut Bars
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter along with the marshmallows, stirring continuously until smooth (about 5 minutes).
  2. In your stand mixer, blend together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes). Gradually add the warm butter-marshmallow mixture.
  3. With the mixer set to low, gently add in the flour and coconut flakes, mixing until just combined.
  4. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden edges appear.
  5. Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then lift out and cut into squares.
