• Prep 15 minutes
• Cook 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 German chocolate cake mix
• 2/3 cup butter (room temperature)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tub Coconut-pecan frosting (yes, the kind you find above the cake mixes at the store)
• 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly grease a 9X13 pan.
3. In a large bowl using a pastry blender, cut in butter with the cake mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Press 1/2 the mixture (about 2 1/2 cups) into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust. Drop frosting by tablespoonfuls over chocolate chips. Mix 1/4 cup of milk into the remaining cake mix/butter mixture. Stir to combine.
7. Drop this batter by teaspoonfuls over the frosting.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
9. Cool completely. Cut into squares and refrigerate until served. (These brownies really do taste best cool.)

Cool the pan before you lift the squares.
