Best Ever Dreamy Strawberry Coconut Bars Recipe – A super Easy and Buttery Crust topped with Strawberry Jelly and finished with a Coconut Crumble.
When I think of sweet treats perfect for summer, the first two things that come to mind are coconut and strawberries.
Both of these beautiful ingredients are the star of my dreamy bars. It all starts with a super easy and buttery crust that’s topped with strawberry jelly and finished with a coconut crumble.
The flavors of strawberry and toasted coconut work so well together. I could have easily devoured half a pan of these yummy treats in one sitting. Not only do they taste amazing, but your home will smell beyond incredible. They are light enough to prevent any feeling of heaviness, but extremely satisfying at the same time. I hope you will love them as much as we did!
