I only gave this 4 spoons because I had to change a couple things. First I could not find the butter pecan cake mix anywhere! I used devil's food cake mix instead because a fellow reviewer suggested it and it sounded yummy. I also read that people had issues with it being too messy so I used dulce de leche(cajeta) instead of butterscotch sauce. Dulce de leche is thicker so I didn't have problems with it being too messy. I also lightly buttered the bottom of the pan since people said they had trouble getting it out. Over all it turned out delicious. Chocolate + caramel= yummy. Almost like turtle brownies but without nuts. People raved about them. I know I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but I wanted to offer a little twist based on the other ideas and the fact that I couldn't find this cake mix anywhere. Enjoy :)

I loved this recipe, though I did make some changes. I didn't have caramel on hand, so i used melted butterscotch chips. I just got them melted and spread them across the first layer of cake. It tastes great! I also used a smaller pan so the bars are thicker and pretty sturdy. I will have to try the caramel next time. Overall, I recommend it!

My 5 year old requested these for his birthday dessert this year b/c he loved them so much. I don't make them with carmel topping since that's not something I usually have on hand. Instead, I double the frosting recipe I put on Apple Cake, since this is a sweet "caramelly" vanilla frosting. I think this also is a little thicker than caramel topping, so they're not as messy.

This bars were a messy type because of the caramel. You have to really cool them down before cutting them. They were really sweet, too sweet and tasted good. They are just too sticky.
