German Chocolate Bars

1/2 cup softened butter 

1 pkg. Betty Crocker SuperMoist German chocolate cake mix
1 tub (1 lb.) Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy coconut pecan frosting
1 (6 oz.) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 c. milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, cut butter into cake mix, using pastry blender until crumbly. Press half of the mixture (2 1/2 cups) in bottom of pan; reserve remaining cake mixture. Bake 10 minutes.

Carefully spread frosting over baked layer; sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips. Stir milk into reserved cake mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto chocolate chips.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cake portion is slightly dry to the touch. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm. Cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Store covered in refrigerator. Yields 48 bars.

Someone made these for my last book club meeting. They were super yummy!
