Black Bottomed Coconut Bars
Crust:
1 box cake mix of your choice (chocolate cake will make it black bottom, etc.)
1 egg
1 stick butter, melted (when baking, I always use unsalted butter, but you are your own baker)
Filling:
1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick butter, melted
1 16-oz box powdered sugar
1 bag coconut
Preheat oven to 350. Mix crust ingredients together in a bowl. Press into a sprayed 9x13 pan. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, eggs, vanilla and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar (slowly...watch for powdered sugar dust storm) and coconut (can mix this by hand...I just eyeball the amount of coconut...I shake out enough in until it looks like there's some all through the batter.)
Pour filling over crust, spreading to cover entirely. Bake 40-50 minutes. Center should still be a little soft (per Paula Deen. I cook it until it looks as brown as it is in the above picture.)
Stalkers and regular followers, enjoy!
