Yummy brownies

I got this recipe from the blog My Kitchen Cafe. We made these while Bret's parents were in town and they were really good. I wasn't so sure about them at first--but they tasted awesome after sitting in the fridge overnight. They're really good after being chilled thoroughly. So these would be a good one to make a day ahead. I even liked them after they were in our fridge for a week (a rarity for me).

German Chocolate Brownies
from The Lion House Entertaining Cookbook

1 German chocolate cake mix
2/3 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tub Coconut-pecan frosting (yes, the kind you find above the cake mixes at the store)
1/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X13 pan. In a large bowl using a pastry blender, cut in butter with the cake mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press 1/2 the mixture (about 2 1/2 cups) into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust. Drop frosting by tablespoonfuls over chocolate chips. Mix 1/4 cup of milk into the remaining cake mix/butter mixture. Stir to combine. Drop this batter by teaspoonfuls over the frosting. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely. Cut into squares and refrigerate until served. (These brownies really do taste best cool.)
