GERMAN CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH GOOEY BARS

GERMAN CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH GOOEY BARS 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened 1 box (15 ounce) German chocolate cake mix 1 egg 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut, divided 1/2 cup butterscotch chips 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. With an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the cake mix, egg, and 1/4 cup of the coconut until combined and a thick dough forms. Press 2/3 of the cake mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut and the butterscotch chips evenly over the dough. Then drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top. Break up the remaining dough and crumble it over the top of the bars. Press lightly to seal. Bake for about 30 minutes, until slightly browned. Cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container for up to one week. NOTES You can do this in a 9x13 pan by using the whole can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of butterscotch chips, but the bars will be thinner. Baking time will also need to be adjusted.
