I made these last night to send to my daughter who is doing National Service up north. After tasting one, I don't think I'm going to send them to her after all, they are so delicious. I used butter instead of margarine and they came out so rich, so creamy, so... gooey! Next time I'm going to try chocolate cake mix and choclate pudding mix. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for posting a new favorite!

I must have done something wrong, although reading it over, it seems like I followed it all. These turned out overly sweet with no other flavor. Sorry.

Nice & simple, great sweet and yummy bar. I used the golden mix, though, and it didn't seem to have the best flavor. I think I'll try chocolate next time, or add some almond flavoring to the golden mix.
