-------- ------------ --------------------------------
---Bottom Layer---
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
---Top Layer---
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar -- packed
1/2 cup crushed pineapple -- drained,
(save juice for icing)
1 cup coconut
1/3 cup candied cherries -- chopped
1 teaspoon rum flavouring
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
---Icing---
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon rum flavouring
5 teaspoons pineapple juice

Bottom Layer: Crumble butter, sugar and flour together well. Pack into a 9
x 9 ungreased pan. Bake in 350* oven for 15 minutes.

Top Layer: Beat eggs slightly. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spread over
bottom layer. Bake in 350* oven for 25 to 30 minutes until a medium brown
colour and is set. Frost with icing. Cut into squares.

Icing: Combine all together in a bowl. Beat, adding more juice if icing is
too stiff. Spread over bars. Allow to set before cutting.

Note: I do not like the rum flavouring, so I substitute vanilla in the top
layer and the icing.
