DEEE-licious!!! My husband says it deserves 10 stars!! He asked for a piece.. then changed it to several pieces--for his bag lunch. I will be making this often!! I followed the recipe exactly--except for the pecans as I didn't have any. Thanks for posting!! :)

Not thrilled, my husband liked it but it was not near as good as that from my local grocery store! No crunch in the crust and no gooey center.... A little dry...... But again my husband liked it so not a complete failure!!!

Been making this for years, but could not find my recipe today. Made for a trivia fundraiser tonight and it was enjoyed by all at our table. Thanks Georgia Peach for posting!!

Love this spin (nuts) on an old family favorite of mine. Thanks for the awesome recipe revival. EVERYONE who tried this loved it and wants the recipe. Don't worry I'm giving you all the credit!

Extremely sweet (a little too much so for my taste-just personal preference). I also was expecting it to be a little more "ooey gooey." However, it is very yummy.
