Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

15 ounce box chocolate cake mix ((I like Devil's Food cake mix))
½ cup canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup half and half ((can substitute evaporated milk))
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter ((half a stick))
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shredded sweetened coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup milk chocolate chips ((optional but recommeded) )

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degees. Grease and line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla until just combined. (The mixture will be thick)*
  • Press the brownie mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake on the center rack for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownies comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook the brownies.
  • While the brownies bake, in a medium saucepan over low heat, whisk together the half and half, brown sugar, butter, egg yolks, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a low simmer and whisk constantly until thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Turn of the heat and stir in the shredded sweetened coconut and chopped pecans. Pour over the cooked brownies and sprinkle on chocolate chips if using.
  • Cool the bars completely before cutting. You can refrigerate to speed up this process. To cut, simply remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares.
