Vacuum Cleaner Bars - A Splurge!

A vacuum is a tool for cleaning, but this recipe is CERTAINLY NOT clean!  It has been quite some time since I have had these delicious bars, and I have been thinking about them for a couple months now.  An opportunity presented itself for me to make these, but not be tempted to eat the entire batch all by myself!

Vacuum Cleaner Bars

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 18.25oz box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1 pound box powdered sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut (or a little more if you accidently pour too much cuz you love coconut!)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (oops, I put a few too many of those cuz I love them too!)

Combine butter, cake mix and 1 egg.  Stir together until incorporated.  Pat mixture into a well-greased 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.

Beat 2 remaining eggs lightly, then beat in cream cheese and powdered sugar.  Stir in coconut and nuts.  Pour over mixture in jellyroll pan, spreading evenly.

Bake at 325 for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool pan on wire rack to room temperature.  Cut into bars.
