Amy's Chewy Coconut Bars Diabetic

I was looking for a good bar cookie to add to my cookie tray that was suitable for redneck epicurean who was diabetic. We were partners in a holiday cookie swap and i was in awe of her cheerfulness even when she was in tremendous pain. She loved them and in her honor i am renaming this bar for her. Combining coconuts and walnuts with a faint hint of maple really appealed to me so i decided to give it a try as well as posting here for others as well as for future reference. According to the source this bar has 126 cal., 2 g pro., 10 g carbo., 9 g fat, 27 mg chol., 141 mg sodium.
