Everyone loves the taste of German Chocolate cake, right? The way that the pecans and the coconut mesh together make it nearly impossible to start after just one bite. What if there was a way to combine the flavor of German Chocolate Cake with another fan favorite…cheesecake. This is your lucky day. This EASY German Chocolate Cheesecake Bar recipe will change the way that you think about cheesecake…in a good way!
Part of the “problem” of having a delicious dessert is that it’s often hard to say no to eating too big of a piece. These EASY German Chocolate Cheesecake Bars take care of that problem. Each piece is cut into squares, which will give you peace of mind knowing that you are having a bit of portion control. If you want to eat more, go for it but if you don’t, then one square should do the trick!
Not only are these EASY German Chocolate Cheesecake Bars amazing, they are simple and easy to make as well. Any recipe that I can complete start to finish in less than an hour is a-okay by me! My opinion? Make a double batch for this recipe because the first one will be gone before you know it!

- 1 cup of Coconut (chopped)
