For a richer flavor, toast the coconut lightly before adding it to the filling. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be substituted. Be careful not to overbake the crust, as it will become too hard. Store the Cherry Chews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
