For a richer flavor, toast the coconut and walnuts before adding them to the filling. Sifting the confectioners' sugar ensures a smooth and lump-free icing. These squares are quite sweet, so cutting them into small, bite-sized pieces is recommended. For easier cutting, let the squares sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing.
