Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons butter (see note) or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted (see note)
-
0.5 (18 1/2 ounce) package of a 2 layer white cake mix (about 2 cups of dry mix)
-
1 cup chocolate chips
-
1 1/3 cups sweetened flaked coconut (3 1/2 oz)
-
1 cup coarsely chopped mixed nuts
-
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Using a 9x13" pan, pour the melted butter or margarine into the pan and tilt it around to coat the bottom completely.
- Sprinkle the cake mix over melted butter.
- Then, sprinkle with the marshmallows, then the chocolate chips, then the coconut and lastly, the nuts.
- Pour the condensed milk evenly over all.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen.
- Then let it cool before cutting into 1 1/2 x 1" bars.
- Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
- Note: To save yourself a step and a dish to wash, you can put the butter or margarine right in the baking pan and heat it a low oven before raising the heat to 350° to preheat.
- Also, I found that in some ovens it might brown a bit too quickly.
- Check it while baking.
- If it does brown too quickly, cover with tin foil to keep it from browning any more, and remove for the last 5 minutes or so of baking.
