Description
These Simple German Chocolate Cookie Bars bring the rich flavors of German chocolate cake into an easy-to-make pan of bars, featuring a chewy texture and gooey chocolate.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box devil’s food or German chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Add vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
- Fold in the milk chocolate chips, coconut, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula to smooth the top.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges start to pull away and the top looks set but is slightly soft in the center.
- Allow bars to cool in the pan for at least 30–45 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
For best results, let the bars cool thoroughly before cutting to ensure clean slices. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
