German Topping For German Chocolate Cake

A lady i know makes the best german filling (for upside down german chocolate cake where the gooey bit is in the middle) in the world. I can't get enough of this stuff. Makes enough to fill one 9-inch chocolate cake. This will keep for one week in the fridge.
