  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/4  Cups          all-purpose flour -- sifted
     1/4  Cup           sugar
     1/2  Cup           butter or margarine
     2/3  Cup           maple-blended syrup
   1 1/3  Cups          coconut
     1/4  Teaspoon      salt

                                                            
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Sift flour and sugar      
together; cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
 Press into an 8-inch square baking pan and bake for 15 to  
20 minutes.  Combine syrup, coconut and salt in a small     
saucepan.  Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the coconut   
absorbs most of the syrup.  Spread over warm crust; bake    
for 10 minutes longer.  Cut into bars.
