Prepare the cake mix according to package directions and pour the cake batter over the coconut and pecans.
Place the cream cheese in a medium bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth. Add the butter and beat until combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until smooth.
Place dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake batter. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the cake.
Bake the cake for 40 minutes or until the cake has set.
Cool, cut into squares and serve.
Note:
Make sure your 9″x13″ pan is at least 2 inches deep, preferably deeper. If your pan isn’t as deep, try a larger pan or put your pan on a baking sheet before you place it in the oven in case of any overflow of batter.
