Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 3 large Eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup confectioner’s Sugar
  • 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet or dark Chocolate Chips
  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded Coconut
  • 10 oz bottle Maraschino Cherries, drained and coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325F. You need a 9 x 13 baking dish/pan for this.
  • Stir together the melted butter, cake mix and 1 egg until moistened. Press evenly over the prepared pan.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar and the remaining eggs until relatively smooth and free of big lumps.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut and the cherries. Spread evenly over the cake mix layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the cake springs back when pressed lightly. Let cool fully in the pan before slicing.
  • Cut into squares. Makes 20-24 bars. Enjoy!
