My chocolate layer switched places with my cake layer so I ended up with a gooey mess on the bottom and mostly raw cake on the top. Anyone know what happened?

All I did different was use milk chocolate instead of semisweet.

This is my church's favorite dish for me to bring to potlucks!

I personally didn't LOVE these, but I think that's my own fault. I was craving more of a cookie-type crust, and this is a cake-type crust. I took half the pan to a party on Saturday; they completely disappeared. Then I took the other half to a family get-together on Sunday and came home with an empty pan. So I "liked" them, but other people LOVED them.

Just made these for the 1st time to take to a party and eveyone loved them. Had several requests for the recipe. I added a cup of Skor pieces over the nuts and then added a chocolate drizzle of the top. Will be making these many more times.
