I'm rating these 4 stars because of the way the recipe is written. I've been making these with the same ingredients in different amounts for years with excellent results. The bottom layer should only have 1 egg and end with a very thick consistency. You should not be able to pour it. It has to be spread into the pan. The top layer should have no butter in it which is probably contributing to the burning. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes then start checking it. Depending on your oven it will only take 25-30 minutes and will not look "done" when you take it out. These set up considerably after sitting! If you let them bake until they appear done then you've probably already ruined them. Read More

I tried this recipe twice and both times it was a dark brown by 20 minutes into the 40 minute cooking time. After the full 40 minutes it was burnt and still raw inside. I know that my oven temperature was correct so the temperature given in the recipe (375) must be too high. I would be interested to see if anyone else had this problem. Read More

I cooked this at 350 degrees instead of 375 and it did not burn. Next time I am going to try this with a chocolate cake mix instead of the yellow. Read More

I made this on the spur of the moment for a family dinner. These were very good. They almost have the consistancy of a brownie. Will definately make again. Read More

Always use a non coated pan when making this. Grease the pan with Crisco shortening. This is a wonderful recipe and serves a lot of people. Read More
