Easy German Chocolate Bars

German Chocolate Bars

These mouthwatering bars taste just like German chocolate cake!
A great change of pace from the standard brownie.

2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® German chocolate cake mix
1 package (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 tub Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy coconut pecan ready-to-spread
frosting, or use Buttercreme Frosting and sprinkle with chopped pecans
1/4 cup milk

  1. Heat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease bottom and sides of rectangular
    pan, 13x9x2 inches. (Cooking spray is okay)

  2. Cut butter into cake mix in medium bowl, using pastry blender or fork,
    until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Press half of the mixture
    (2 1/2 cups) in bottom of pan.

  3. Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over baked layer. Drop
    frosting by tablespoonfuls over chocolate chips. Stir milk into remaining
    cake mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto frosting layer.

  4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cake portion is slightly dry to touch; cool
    completely.

    Refrigerate until firm. For 48 bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.
