Ingredients:

1 stick butter

3 eggs

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 yellow (plain) cake mix

8 ounces softened cream cheese

1 box (unsifted) confectioner’s sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Shredded coconut

Instructions:

You may substitute coconut flavor for the vanilla. Or you may wish to add chopped walnuts on top or lemon zest (with 2 or more teaspoons of lemon flavoring, instead of the vanilla.)

Melt butter. Beat 1 egg and add chopped walnuts. Add the melted butter to the egg-walnut mixture. Mix in cake mix. Press this mixture into bottom of a greased 11 x 15-inch or 10 x 12-inch pan. Beat 2 eggs with cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour on top of crust and spread. Top with shredded coconut.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into squares when cool and fit into a paper muffin holder. If you do not wish to serve all of this immediately after baking, this freezes well.

Yields: 30 to 60 small pieces.
