German Chocolate Snack Cakes are a fun twist on traditional German Chocolate Cake. These snack-sized treats are a cross between a cake and a brownie, with a rich chocolatey flavor and a creamy cheese topping. They are perfect for an afternoon snack or a small dessert, and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
2.	In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans and German chocolate cake mix.
3.	In a larger bowl, beat 3 eggs and then add the melted butter, stirring until well mixed.
4.	Gradually stir in the pecan mixture until just combined.
5.	Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6.	In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth, and then beat in the remaining egg.
7.	Spread the mixture over the baked cake, and return it to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
