#819 - Macaroon Cookie Bars

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 box Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe dark chocolate fudge cake mix
1/3 cup softened Parkay margarine
1 egg
Topping: 1 - 14oz. can Eagle sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated), 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 egg, 1 1/4 cups Baker's angelflake coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans

In a mixer add egg and Parkay--beat. Add cake mix--beat until crumbly. Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan. Press the cake mixture evenly in the bottom--set aside. In a mixer add the egg and vanilla--beat. Add condensed milk--beat until blended. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in 1 cup of the coconut and all of the pecans using a spoon. Pour the milk mixture over the pressed cake mixture in the cake pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. If the center seems runny, it's ok because it will set when cooled. Cool completely, then cut into squares or bars.
