Heck-a-Good Bars

Chocolate. Peanut butter. Coconut. Cake mix.
All together? Well I don't know what to call a bar that includes all that...except for "Heck-a-Good Bars!"
And that's just how these bars taste. So, very, tasty, scrumptious!

These are seriously rich. You need something to drink when you eat one of these babies. The peanut butter mixed in the cake mix really shines through and mixes wonderfully with the chocolate fudge layer. There is just enough coconut to add some texture and a hint of coconut flavor, it isn't too strong. I could have added more, but I love coconut, or you could omit it altogether. I baked these in an 8x11 pan to get them a little thicker, but they could be baked in a 9x13 with no problem.

All I know is that you probably have everything you need for these bars in your pantry. So...go.make.these.now.
