Mud Pie

Author's Note: This recipe makes two pies, but I don't think you'll have any problem getting rid of them at a family gathering.
1 box (18 1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix
1 stick margarine or butter, cut into pieces (4 ounces)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cut into pieces
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 can (3 1/2 ounces) flaked coconut
Grease two 9-inch pie pans. Prepare the cake batter according to package directions and spread evenly in the pans. In a saucepan over low heat, soften the cream cheese and margarine and combine well. Remove from heat and add the brown sugar, mixing well. Add the walnuts and coconut, stirring to mix. Using a spoon, place the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake batter. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes.
Each pie serves 8.
