I loved this recipe... I brought this to a family dinner and they were gobbled up in a flash. We served them with vanilla ice cream. I had to bake it a little longer. I also left out the peanut butter chip because I didn't have them. Next time I think I will spread raspberry jam over the brownie mixture before add ing the coconut, chips and condensed milk.... and aslo add white chocolate chips.... but only becasue I can't help but think of a thousand other ways you could make this!

The directions were not real clear. I put the butter in with the brownie mix (powder) and then went on to read "Pour into 9x12" well it wasn't pourable so I figured I was supposed to mix the brownie mix as directed on the box first....so I did but the butter was already in there and I was a little hesitant because I had added the oil from the brownie directions and so now I had butter and oil..oh my :) So......I went on with the recipe as written (using walnuts instead of pecans) and cooked it for 30 minutes..it was still really jiggly so I cooked it for a total of 20 more minutes. Don't get me wrong this tasted really good and RICH..the boys ate it up. Next time I will omit some of the butter and some of the oil. Made for PAC spring '09

I had some trouble with the crust. It seemed way too dry and would not hold together at all so I added more butter. Then it baked up really hard. Is there an egg missing? I think I should have added it like the other reviewer. The top layer was great, I just wish the crust turned out better...more like a brownie.
