MAKE THE CRUST
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray your 9x13 skillet with non-stick spray.
Then, place your ingredients in a bowl, with your hands or with a blender, mix all your ingredients together until they are crumbly.
Remove 1 cup of the crust mixture and set aside.
Gently press the remaining crust into the bottom of your pan and bake for 10 minutes, take out and let cool completely.
TO MAKE THE PINEAPPLE FILLING
With a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle, place all of your ingredients in your bowl and mix until everything is completely incorporated.
Pour your pineapple filling over your crust and sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the filling.
Bake for 48 to 50 minutes or until the center is no longer moving.
TO MAKE COCONUT MIST
In a small bowl, combine all of your ingredients, mixing thoroughly until smooth, you may need to add more milk to achieve the desired texture.
With a spoon or fork, sprinkle the tops of your bars once they are completely cool.
Happy Cooking Time.
Notes
Just be aware that when the crust is fully mixed it will still be very thin, it won't be as crumbly as a lot of crust mixes.
You can replace the coconut extract with vanilla extract instead.
