Ingredients

Bars

1: cup Bisquick Heart Smart® mix

2: tablespoons powdered sugar

2: tablespoons firm margarine or butter

3/4: cup granulated sugar

1/4: cup flaked coconut

1: tablespoon Bisquick Heart Smart® mix

Directions

1 Heat oven to 350ºF. In small bowl, mix 1 cup Bisquick mix and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Cut in margarine, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until crumbly. Press in ungreased 8-inch square pan.

Expert Tips

Egg substitutes provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks.

Combining reduced-fat and fat-free ingredients with small amounts of regular ingredients (butter and coconut) results in the best of both worlds—tasty treats without guilt!

These bars are wonderful! I cut the calories a tad more by using a sugar substitute. felt like such a splurge! The whole family loved them. I will make these again.

This recipe looks wonderful, but I really do not like using packaged baking mixes & prefer to bake from scratch. How would I adapt this recipe? I know the ingredients to use to make the cookie bottom, I just do not know the proportions. Can anyone help me out? ~~ Thanks so much!
