Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 box devils food cake mix (not the kind with pudding added)
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 1 egg

Filling:

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 × 13 inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter and egg, and press into the bottom of the prepared pan. The crust should not come up the sides. Bake for 7 minutes and remove from the oven. The crust will not look done.
  • While the crust is baking, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, egg, pecans and coconut. Pour evenly over the warm crust and sprinkle evenly with the chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 24-30 minutes, until the top is a light golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into squares.
