     Preheat oven to 350.  In large bowl with mixer at low speed, beat first
  5 ingredients and 1/2 c packed brown sugar until just mixed; at medium
  speed, beat 2 minutes (mixture will look dry). With lightly floured hands,
  shape mixture into a ball, then pat into 8"by 8" baking pan. In small bowl
  with hand beater, beat eggs with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar; stir in
  almonds and coconut.  Pour evenly over mixture in pan. Bake 35 minutes or
  until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 12 pieces.
