PINEAPPLE BARS WITH COCONUT DRIZZLE

I woke up early on a Saturday morning….like way too early!  Of course Mr. Laughing Spatula was already up and out,  putting gas in all the cars.  You see, Mr. LS takes very good care of his girls.  Every weekend he fills up our cars and washes them.    Our ‘little girl’ is 24, engaged and he still takes care of her (and me for that matter).  So the least I can do is make him something sweet.  Right?  I mean, it’s not for me?  It’s simply to show my appreciation.  You buying this?

We have all been dieting, so there isn’t much in the house as far as goodies go, so I had to go in deep…deep into the bowels of the pantry to find something…anything! Right when I thought I’d come out empty handed, my chubby little fingers wrapped around a can of crushed pineapple!  Okay! I shouted…I can do something with this!!

I remembered a recipe for Blueberry Pie Bars that I posted last year.  I never thought they got the attention they deserved…quite frankly the picture wasn’t one of my best.  But the flavor was  fantastic and why couldn’t I substitute Pineapple?

Remember to remove a cup of the crust to crumble on top of the filling!
