🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 40 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 55 minutes
🥄 Servings: 48 squares
🍽️ Yield: 48 squares
Ingredients:
- 1 package German chocolate cake mix with pudding
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 pound powdered sugar
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan and set it aside.
-
Combine the German chocolate cake mix with pudding, 1 egg, butter, and margarine in a large bowl. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are moistened and the mixture comes together.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even layer. This will form the delicious base for your German Chocolate Squares.
-
In another bowl, using an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat together the cream cheese and 2 eggs until smooth and well-blended. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating continuously until the mixture is creamy and free of lumps.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate batter in the baking pan. This luscious layer will add a creamy contrast to the rich chocolate base, creating a symphony of flavors in every bite.
-
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer. These crunchy nuts will not only add a delightful texture but also complement the chocolatey and creamy components of the squares.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, indicating that the squares are perfectly baked.
-
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Allow the German Chocolate Squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into neat, bite-sized squares.
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the cooled squares into 48 equal portions. The precise cuts will ensure that each square is a perfect combination of chocolatey goodness, creamy filling, and crunchy nuts.
