What a delicious treat! Tart rhubarb is sweetened with crunchy pecans and flaked coconut, while a cake mix proves a tender base. —Connie Korger, Green Bay, Wisconsin

I have made this amazingly delicious dessert more than 10 times. Several family members swear that they "hate rhubarb" but they love this dessert!

This dessert is so... easy and so... good.

Not sure what the consistency of this should be, but I think I did it really wrong. I thought I could skip the boil part because my rhubarb was frozen then thawed so it was already soft. Not a good idea. There was way too much moisture in it, I'm guessing because I didn't boil any out in the other step. FYI.

This was awesome!! Yes, I had to bake longer than the recipe stated but that was not a big deal to me. I brought some to work and it got rave reviews here, as well!! I'll definitely be making this again!!

It was wonderful! I couldn't find rhubarb so I found some frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberry's and blackberry's) so I used it in place of the rhubarb and it turned out GREAT! Definitely a remake. Hope to find some rhubarb next time! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I can't believe there are women out there

that can't read a recipe. It plainly says

"sprinkle" cake mix on top of fruit then bake.
