These Dream Cake Squares are quick, easy, and practically foolproof. Both crunchy and chewy, they taste like a dream indeed!  

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1-1/4 cups light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup flaked coconut
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the first three ingredients with your fingers or two forks. Press into the bottom of an 11x7x1-1/2 inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
