Chess Bars

Here’s the recipe for the Chess Bars I made at Thanksgiving. These have coconut in them, but don’t let that scare you. You can’t really taste the coconut, and it adds a nice sweetness and texture to the chess bars.

Chess Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Crust Ingredients:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened

Mix and press in bottom of greased pan.

Spread on top of bottom layer. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. image

Be careful to not overcook, or they will become tough to chew. Let cool and cut into squares.
