One of my all-time favorite flavors is german chocolate. I LOVE coconut and of course, who doesn’t love chocolate? These easy german chocolate cheesecake bars are one of my new favorite recipes. I love that they are well, easy, but they taste like you’ve spent all day making them. They’re elegant enough for a large dinner party, but easy enough that you can throw them together for a weeknight dinner!
