Anyone have a recipe for Charlie Parker bars??

A couple local bakeries and coffee shops have them, the main ingredients seem to be coconut, walnuts & chocolate chips. They're so delish, but I googled it and can't seem to find any recipes out there?!

      Melch, give these a try...I've been making them for years. I've made them w a combo of dark chocolate and butterscotch chips vs the just the chocolate chips. Here you go:

        Christina's right - from the photo they appear to be quite similar to traditional 7-layer or "Magic Cookie Bars." you can find the recipe all over the web, or printed on the label of EAGLE condensed milk cans.

          Hmm, they sound suspiciously like 7-layer bars. Could this be it? http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1610,...

          If there's no butterscotch, maybe that's the only change.
