In reply to Lisa. Hi, Lisa, sure, just replace it with more chips, nuts, and/or something else like pretzels, M&Ms, dried fruit, etc. Enjoy! Cara

Can this be made without the coconut?

In reply to Elle. Oh, yay! I'm so glad someone else thought those things needed changing, too. I love that your bars are perfection, thank you so much for sharing! Cara

Thank you for your great tips! You have addressed (and solved!) my issues: adding sugar so the crust isn’t too crumbly, and pressing down on everything to help hold the layers together. My bars are now perfection!

In reply to Joy Howell. Hi, Joy from New Zealand! Welcome to my Minnesota blog :). Thank you so much for your questions! In researching substitutes for graham crackers, it looks like others in New Zealand have used digestive biscuits, if that helps. And the weight of 18 graham crackers comes to right around 270 grams. I hope you'll stay in touch and let me know what you used for a substitution and how these bars turned out for you. Thank you again, Cara

Thank you for posting what sounds like a delicious recipe. I am not familiar with Grahams Crackers so I would have to use a substitute. How many grams or what is the weight of the crackers packet you use? We don't have peanut butter chips so I would substitute them with white chocolate. Look forward to your answer, have a great day.
