There are so many versions of these after-school and after-camp snacks.  This is one of the easier ones – and one of the tastier ones as well.

4-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup margarine, softened

½ cup honey

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, baking soda, vanilla, margarine, honey and brown sugar until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and coconut.  Press into lightly greased 9 x 13-inch pan.  Bake for about 20 minutes – until lightly browned.  Cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
