Fabulous! Nice tasty crust with creamy layer on top and pineapple filling! I could hardly wait for them to cool before I cut them...so I could eat one. My friends will fight over these when I take them to potluck supper! I will definitely make these gain, next time probably adding some orange extract to the creamy topping. Thanks for a winner!

These tasted OK, nothing special. But the worst part was that they just didn't look very nice when they were cut into squares. I was gonna take them to a BBQ, but I was too embarrassed.

MMMM! These were yummy. Reminded me of Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. I accidentally mixed the pineapple in with the crust ingredients..whoops! But it didnt effect the taste. Quite yummy. I liked them warm but cold is good too! Thanks!

I loved these. Nice and moist and a great flavor. I split the ingredients in half instead of used two pie pans. It made nice wedges cut out. I made a pan for the 80 yr old ladies across the street that don't cook. They loved them. I also liked them best refrigerator cold.

wonderful is the best way to describe this dessert!! I made it exactly as the recipe is given, except adding lemon juice to the topping mixture, to compliment the pineapple. My hubby is a chocoholic, but said I should make this more often. I liked it also because it is simple, quick and outstanding in flavor and texture! There wasn't any left to even think about freezing!
