I came across the recipe out of desperation. I accidentally bought a pkg of the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix, instead of buying regular Choc. Chip. No one in my family, except me, likes oatmeal cookies. Anywhos... so I was looking for a way to doctor up this cookie mix and maybe disguise the oatmeal. Man oh man did I strike gold when I found this recipe. I made it per the instructions the first time and it was awesome. Everyone loved it. The next time I made it, I added 3/4 cup of sour cream to the cream cheese mixture, to give it that NY cheesecake taste & I also added 1/2 c of flaked coconut and 1/2 c of lightly toasted chopped pecans to the cookie mix before I mixed it up, then prepared per the instructions. This was the ultimate dessert for me. It had all the things I love; oatmeal, chocolate, cheesecake, coconut & pecans!!! All I can say is WOW!!

I didnt read the reviews before I started to make this and I have a 5 month old so going back to the store for another cookie mix was out of the question, so I made it in an 11 x 8 pan and it worked out well. I did add some extra chocolate chips to the topping and next time I make these I think I will forgo the topping listed and make a ganache instead.

Not overly impressed with the recipe. Not enough cookie mix to cover a 13x9 pan with enough left over to sprinkle around on top. Cookie mix was a little dry and not flavorful enough for this. The filling was fabulous. Not sure I would bother fixing this again.

I've made these bars 4 times in the last 2 weeks...Once to try them out and the other 3 by request for parties that i was attending! Huge Hit! Definitely agree with using 2 oatmeal cookie mix packs too...Leaves you with a little left over (to make a big cookie...yum) but having a thinker crust and more cookie topping is awesome too! I didn't have any problem removing the bars from the pan and cutting it with a wet clean knife really helps too. <3 THEM <3 THEM <3 THEM
