For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the crust. Toast the coconut and walnuts lightly before adding them to the filling for enhanced flavor and texture. For a smoother icing, ensure the confectioners' sugar is freshly sifted to remove any lumps. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
