Mounds Bar Cookies (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, December 06, 2007)

* 1 box cake-like brownie mix, family size (makes a 9-by-13-inch pan)
* 2 cups coconut
* 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 2 tablespoons flour
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the brownies following directions on the box. Pour batter into prepared pan; set aside. Mix coconut, cream cheese, sugar, flour and eggs together using an electric mixer. Spread over brownie batter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over brownies. Return to oven for about 1 minute or until the chocolate chips melt. Remove from oven and spread over brownies. Cool and cut into bars.
