A plastic knife makes a clean, sharp cut for bars and brownies and is less likely to tear the crust.

Oh what a mess. Once I mixed the cake mix, egg and margarine I didn't have crumbles; instead I had a sticky paste. I think my xl egg made the mix to wet and I was out a flour to thicken it. It was not enough to even cover half the pan! So i shoved it in a pie pan, the bottom is cooked to almost burnt and the top is a sticky glob of goo. I'll scrap it out once it cools and try it, but very disappointed because they looked so good.

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 could not find the suggested cake mix and therefore used the golden butter mix. They were delicious, but I DEFINITELY suggest to use Pam or something on the dish or you will not get them out. I topped with crushed Pecans and it really added to the taste. One more suggestion is to use a little more than half the dough on the bottom. The caramel seemed to be absored too much and it was as if there was no crust (adding to the stickiness). Even though they were messy and very sweet, they were eaten quickly and were requested again!
