Overall I liked this recipe. The one thing I was disapointed in was that the crust and the 3 cups of dough it took, left only about 1/2 of a cup of dough to "crumble on the top" and wasn't enough to cover the chocolate mixture. :( Next time I will probably do 2cups for the crust and 2 cups for the crust, or at least 2.5 crust and 1.5 for the topping. I was hoping to share these with others but, I'm embarrased with how they look, not how they taste.

Very rich. Taste great but a lot of work. I think the directions are wrong. When it says "crumble remaining oat mixture of top" I wonder what I had done wrong. The mixture was too wet to crumble. It was very hard to spread.

I did substitute semi-sweet chips (it's what I had). I was surprised at how thick and sticky the dough was that you spread at the bottom of the pan and on top. I found slightly wetting your fingertips or spatula worked perfectly for patting on the bottom. I also didn't have quick oats, just old fashioned. It all worked out and were enjoyed by all! VERY rich!

<p>I have made this recipe twice already. The recipe did not turn out like the picture. Had to really drop the topping around. However, loved the way the crust did not have to bake separately. Kids & hubby loved. Butterscotch chips gave a twist to a choc chip brownie taste I cut the pieces much smaller & the recipe went much farther</p>

Consistency of base not crumbly at all. Very hard to work with, couldn't crumble for topping. Overall taste, not good.

I made these for the first time and brought them to church. I found them too sweet for my taste. Also, there is no butter pecan cake mix available in these parts so I substituted yellow cake mix. I also left the pecans whole. If I were to make them again, I would use semi-sweet chocolate chips and skip using the butterscotch chips completely. That is what made the sweetness over the top. Although my husband says there is no such thing as too sweet. He liked them. Me, not so much. I might make them again with the altered ingredients.
