Pinterest has done it again. This is a rich bar. Its very delicious and tastes like german chocolate cake. It was so easy and fun.

What you'll need:

CRUST

I do not take credit for picture

• 1 box devils food cake mix  (not the one with pudding in it)
• 1/2 c butter (1 stick) unsalted and melted
• 1 egg

FILLING

• 1 (14 OZ) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla 
• 1 egg
• 1 c chopped pecans (optional)
• 1 c shredded sweetened coconut
• 1/2 c chocolate chips

What to do:

1. Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Grease 9 x 13 in pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter and egg and press onto the bottom of greased pan. The crust should not come up on the sides. Bake for 7 min. Remove from oven; crust will not look done.
3. While the crust is baking, mix together condensed milk, vanilla, egg, pecans, and coconut. Pour evenly on warm crust and spread evenly the chocolate chips. Bake for 24-30 min, till top is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
