    Good flavor but much too sweet! Even for the kids. Made it for Christmas and have more left over than was eaten. Will try again and cut butter and sugar quantities in half.

    The bars are so delicious, but are difficult to cut up, and don't look pretty on a serving platter. Regardless, I'm taking them and am sure all will enjoy.

    I made two batches, two different ways. The first batch was EXACTLY how Paula made them on her video, even down to separating the contents into two 8 by 8 square baking dishes.

    In the second batch, I omitted the second stick of butter, and put the contents into one 8 by 13. Honestly, they came out tasting exactly the same! The only difference was that the batch with extra butter was a little gooier, and therefore harder to cut. I would definitely leave out the butter in the topping next time!

    Also, I found it helpful to use a glass baking dish for the first time, just to determine the cooking time, and not burn the bottom. When I saw the bottom was a darker golden brown, I took them out of the oven...clocked at about 39 minutes for me.

    This was amazing!! Took it to a family reunion and they all "ooh" and "ahh" about it...but it didn't take much after I told them it was a Paula Deen recipe!! "How many sticks of butter are in this?!" I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe! I don't like baking (the Intermediate term is very misleading...super easy to make! I don't even like sweets, but this converted me!! Thank you Paula!! After a few of church friends tried this, they said this will get the highest bid at our next church dessert auction!!

    The basic recipe for this has bin around for many years by just changing up the flavor of the cake mix and flavors in the topping ingredients you can get a wide range of ooey gooey cakes or bars.
