VEGAN TROPICAL MAGIC BARS

Vegan Tropical Magic Bars image

These vegan magic bars are one of the easiest treats you can make. By using plant-based butter and condensed coconut milk, they are completely vegan-friendly. I also added some dried pineapple, mango and macadamia nuts to give them the tropical spin. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor
