Recipe for French Vanilla Bars?

Question

I was recently at a baby shower when I had the most fantastic desert. I tried looking for the recipe and can't find it anywhere. I asked where this woman got the recipe and she said off a vanilla cake mix but she didn't know it off the top of her head. Its been two weeks and still haven't heard back.

It has rolled oats, vanilla cake mix, coconut, chocolate chips. Those are the ingrediants I could taste. IF anyone has this recipe please give it to me.....Thanks in advance.
