Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a temp-tations® 4-quart baker with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, butter and egg. Press into the bottom of the baker. (Crust should not come up the sides of the baker.) Bake for 7 minutes and remove from oven. Crust will not look done.
While the crust is baking, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, egg, pecans and coconut in a medium bowl.
Pour sweetened condensed milk mixture over the warm crust in the baker, and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over all.
Bake for 24-30 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove and cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
