This recipe came out exactly perfect and according to the directions given. The newer oven I have now heats properly, the last one I had was always too hot and I think that makes a big difference. I baked the bars in a plain old Eccoware pan sprayed with butter flavor cooking spray. I also let the first two layers cool completely. I could not find strawberry frosting in two stores, so I subsituted cherry instead. I added grated orange peel into the cheesecake layer. The kids were delighted with the outcome and the cookie bars disappeared rapidly.

Delicious...Easy to make. Cooked 27 minutes, using a dark pan and worked great. Added melted white chocolate to cream cheese center and then drizzled it on top of frosting for an added touch. Big hit with the family!! Will use this recipe again.

I always make a new recipe *exactly* according to directions the first time I make it. This was a HUGE disappointment and to be a "Prize Winning Recipe of 2010" is just downright a shock! - I used a Wilton Non-stick 13 x 9 pan and set the timer for 15 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter since this was considered a darker pan. At the 20 minute interval, the edges were scorched and the cheesecake layer was completely dried out and cracked in the middle. I pulled it then and there hoping to save at least the inside middle portion. This was 10-15 minutes UNDER the recommended baking time and should NOT have produced this outcome. I went ahead and cooled it down, applied the 3rd layer, and refrigerated it accordingly. Needless to say it was VERY dry but what I didn't expect when we cut it was the bottom chocolate layer was completely stuck to the bottom. =( It was not, and I stress, NOT burned. After some digging and a few choice expletives, we were able to cut out a piece from the middle. The taste was just average at best. I may try this one more time but I will definitely use a different pan, my cheesecake recipe for the middle layer, and spice up the strawberry layer with more flavor on top. It has the potential of being good but not as the recipe is given. The wet knife tip is good for any cheesecake recipe. I don't know what's happened to Betty Crocker over the years but the more I try new recipes, the more I go back to the old, albeit longer, but much better ones.
