How to Make Coconut Pretzel Crunch Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 15.25 oz (1 box) yellow cake mix. Mix on low speed until well blended. The mixture will be crumbly.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups crushed pretzels and mix well. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes.
  5. While the crust bakes, prepare the topping. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  6. Pour the coconut topping evenly over the partially baked crust.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are deep golden brown and the topping is set.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before running a knife around the edges to loosen. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
