Found this today when I was also looking for this recipe. I bought this square at M & M shops and think this one is pretty close to it.


Macaroon Madness Bars

Comments: Easy to make shortbread bars.
Servings: 64 bars


Base:
1 cup [140 g] all-purpose flour
1/2 cup [125 mL] packed dark brown sugar
5 tablespoons [75 g] margarine or butter, softened
Melted chocolate chips, to drizzle [optional]

Filling:
2 large eggs
2/3 cup [160 mL] packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons [17.5 g] all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon [5 mL] vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon [1 mL] salt
1 cup [250 mL] chopped pecans
1 cup [250 mL] sweetened coconut flakes
3/4 cup [190 mL] butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 375°F [190°C].
Grease a square 8 or 9-inch [20 or 23-cm] metal baking pan.
Line pan with al foil; grease al foil.
With your fingertips, mix together flour, brown sugar, and softened margarine or butter in prepared pan until soft.
Firmly press dough over bottom of pan.
Bake crust into preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, into a large bowl using a wire whisk or a fork, beat together eggs, brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt just until blended.
Stir in chopped pecans, coconut flakes, and butterscotch chips.
Evenly pour filling over warm crust.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes longer, until lightly browned around the edges and filling is set.
Leave to cool completely in pan, onto a wire rack.
If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate chips.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight for easier cutting.
When cold, transfer with foil to a cutting board.
Cut into 64 bars
