Personal Notes:
I remember these being one of Daddy's favorite holiday cookies. Mine too. There was something about the peanut butter, and coconut that kept them so moist. This recipe makes a bunch of bars. Nana would seal them up in a big Tupperware container and they would last for at least a couple of weeks if they were kept hidden.
They just got better with time.
