Time 1h22m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon rum extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved
¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon rum extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, butter, and white sugar in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed, scraping bowl often, until crust mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until crust is set but still pale, 12 to 17 minutes.
  • Combine brown sugar, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon rum extract, and salt in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well-blended. Stir in pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nuts. Spread filling over hot crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set and top is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, about 25 minutes.
  • Whisk 5 teaspoons reserved pineapple juice, confectioners' sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon rum extract together in a small bowl to make glaze.
  • Drizzle glaze over cooled filling; cut into bars.
