This recipe dates back around fifty years. I’m not sure if it has ever appeared on a Bisquick® box. My hands received it.

Reviews
2 cups of sugar sounded way too sweet, so I cut it in half. They were plenty sweet, but the texture was way off- very coffee-cake like, not bar-cookie like. I also added chocolate chips (because I was supposed to send brownies and didn’t have a mix or chocolate to make from scratch) and they sank to the bottom. I might make again as written and see how they turn out.
Yes its one of those old recipes. My babysitters recipe from way back. Good memories. We called them Sorry Squares.
Very good flavour and texture, very easy to make. I used my own version of Bisquik. Took longer to bake than stated in the recipe. A pound of sugar was a lot to waste if the dish was a failure, so I made only half the recipe and It filled an 8×8″ baking pan quite nicely. If you make it, I would strongly suggest removing from the pan before it cools. I sprayed the pan really well but ended up having to leave it in the pan overnight – as a result, it was a real workout getting it out of the pan. I will make it again but it’s a lot of sugar per serving.
Good choice in making. Cake/bars have good texture; crunchy. Great eating cold; haven’t tried warming. Not too sweet, just right for my taste buds. Had no Bisquick mix so used Kroger Brand Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle Mix. No bagged brown sugar so used 2 cups of loose light brown sugar. Since no mention whether to use sweetened or unsweetened flaked coconut I used unsweetened since mix had brown sugar. Roasted walnuts then chopped with Super Salad Shooter. Kept batter in oven a bit too long (35 minutes). Cake fell in the middle before removing. Doesn’t hurt the flavor; tastes great. Hint: roasting nuts gives them a golden color and intensifies their flavor plus adds crunch when a recipe calls for nuts. To roast, spread nuts in a single layer on a shallow baking pan. Bake for 8-10 min in 350 degree oven or until lightly toasted. Stir occasionally. Once cooled, chop nuts.
