Directions

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 10 1/2 by 15 1/2 inch jelly-roll pan.
  2. 2. Stir together the flour, coconut, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  3. 3. Press the mixture evenly into the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  4. 4. To make the mint topping: Mix the powdered sugar, mint extract and green food coloring in a small bowl. Add enough water to make a spreadable paste. Spread the topping over the crispy base.
  5. 5. Cut into bars.
