This easy recipe for German Chocolate Cookies with Cake Mix has all the flavor of German chocolate cake in individual portions!
I’m a sucker for coconuts. It’s my favorite nut, my favorite flavor, and my favorite scent. I may or may not be guilty of wearing suntan lotion even during winter to get that coconut scent.
Even if you try and do your own interpretation of coconut by adding some blue food coloring or naming it tropical or ocean flavored, chances are I’m in.
Truth be told, I like chocolate all fine and good but I can abstain. If you go and add in some coconut, that takes whatever the dessert is to a whole other level and makes it downright irresistible.
