I have been making this since it first came out in Quick Cooking. It's easy and great for bake sales (not too gooey) and it disappears quickly. Even my young nephews asked for the recipe when they started baking.

I love this recipe, it's fast and easy to make. I did experiment and reversed the recipe, Chocolate cake Mix with White Chocolate Chips mixed with a little Unsweetened Coconut...Both versions were a great hit
