--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  c             Butter -- room temperature
   1      c             Dark brown sugar
   1      c             Flour -- +1 tb
   2                    Eggs
   1      ts            Vanilla extract
   1      c             Pecans or walnuts -- chopped
   1      c             Flaked or shredded coconut
   6      oz            Semisweet chocolate chips

Cream butter and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar until smooth. Add 1 cup
of the flour and combine until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Press
dough into an 8 or 9" square glass baking dish.

Microwave on 100% power 3 to 5 minutes, rotating dish if necessary
for even doneness. Crust should lose all moist spots and look like a
cooked pie shell (it will not brown).

Combine eggs, vanilla, nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, remaining
flour, and remaining brown sugar.

Spread mixture over crust. Microwave on 100% power 4 to 5 minutes,
until set, rotating dish if necessary for even doneness.

Cool on wire rack, then cut into squares.

Yield: 16 Bars

Note: You can substitute butterscotch chips for the chocolate, or use
a combination of both.
