Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 can (15 oz) Coconut Pecan Frosting
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional for extra crunch)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into thin slices
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: Spread the coconut pecan frosting evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Sprinkle the dry German Chocolate Cake Mix over the frosting layer. Use a fork to spread it evenly, but do not pack it down.
Step 4: Distribute the chocolate chips and chopped pecans evenly over the top of the cake mix.
Step 5: Place the butter slices in a single layer over the entire surface, covering as much of the dry mix as possible.
Step 6: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the center is set. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best results, ensure the butter covers the dry cake mix completely to avoid dry spots.
