Recipe Introduction
Makes 48 small bars
List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine (see note)
3 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 181/4-ounce package Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devil's Food Cake Mix
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened coconut
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 14-ounce can fat-free sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a 9-by-13-inch thick metal baking pan
with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat butter in microwave in 1-cup glass
measure on lowest setting just until melted
(about 30 seconds).
Stir sour cream and chocolate syrup into
the glass measure with the melted butter;
mix until smooth.
Put cake mix in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle butter mixture over the top and
beat on low until cake mix is nicely
moistened but still crumbly (about 30
seconds).
Press evenly in bottom of prepared pan.
Sprinkle the top evenly with butterscotch
chips, chocolate chips, coconut and nuts.
Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over
all ingredients.
Bake until light golden brown (about 30 minutes).
Cool completely.
Cut into bars.
Note: Use real butter or stick margarine. Do not substitute reduced-fat
spreads; their higher water content often yields less-satisfactory
results.
