These Chocolate Coconut Delight Bars are a twist on the classic German Chocolate Bars, featuring a rich coconut layer and a buttery crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch rectangular baking pan.
Use parchment paper for easier removal of the bars.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and cake mix using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Ensure the butter is cold for a crumbly texture.
Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Press firmly to create an even layer.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
The crust should be slightly set but not fully baked.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the baked crust.
Spread the chips evenly for consistent flavor.
In a bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the shredded coconut.
Mix thoroughly to coat the coconut evenly.
Spread the coconut mixture over the chocolate chips in the pan.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the coconut layer.
Distribute the crumbs evenly for a uniform topping.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Check for a golden top as a sign of doneness.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
Cooling ensures the layers set properly.
Refrigerate the cooled bars until firm, then cut into 48 pieces.
Chilling makes cutting easier and cleaner.
