WOW! These are amazing! Instead of drizzling the chocolate on top, I stirred in chocolate chips before baking. Delicious!!! I'll be making these often.

These were great, family loved them! The dough was a bit hard to work with, but I bet a hand mixer with dough hooks would work great! Very chewy, moist (even though when you are mixing it is seems thick and a bit dry)....a successful surprise Thanks for quick and easy recipe.

Excellent! These were easy to make and came out perfect. My boyfriend and grandpa both love coconut and really liked these. They came out almost the consistency of a brownie. I also could only find Duncan Hines french vanilla mix, but it worked fine. Instead of melting the chocolate chips, I just added them to the mix before baking and it turned out great! Next time I might use a full cup of chips. Two things that helped make this easier: 1 - I used a pastry blender to cut the butter in with the cake mix, and then again to mix in the coconut. 2 - I laid wax paper over the mixture after I put it in the pan and then pressed it into the edges with my hands.

As always, another wonderful recipe from Chef Inez! I could only find Duncan Hines French Vanilla and it turned out great, the mixture was thick and gooey so I had no idea if I was doing this right, but it turned out great. I think I prefer it w/o the melted chocolate...not as sweet. I just love the taste of coconut and that combined w/the vanilla is oh so YUMMY! I'm posting a pic, hope this is what your's look like lol
