coconut raspberry walnut chewy things

In some places these would be called squares, many of you might say they are slices...
we just call them chewy things.

Here's the much-requested recipe:

For the pastry:
2 cups flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut up
1 teaspoon vanilla

For the middle:
a jar of red raspberry jelly or jam (but I like it to be seedless)

For the topping:
4 large eggs (beaten lightly)
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups packaged shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Make pastry base: line the bottom of a baking dish (13 x 9 x 2) with parchment or waxed paper and butter it.
In a food processor, fitted with the steel blade (or in a large bowl using an electric mixer) combine the flour, butter, light brown sugar, vanilla and the salt and blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking pan and chill for 30 minutes.
Bake the pastry base in the middle of a preheated oven (350) for 30- 35 minutes or until it is golden and set. Let it cool in the pan.

Spread a layer of red raspberry jam on top of the base.

Make the topping. Whisk together the eggs, light brown and dark brown sugar and the vanilla. Stir in the coconut and walnuts.
Spread the mixture evenly over the pastry base and bake in the middle of the oven for 35 minutes.

Cool on a rack and run a knife around the edges. Cut into squares after cooling completely.

Don't eat too many - they'll give you a stomachache...
