 "I'm a new cook here so these following tips may seem like common sense to a lot of you. But for those of you like me who nervously follow recipes.... I would suggest to mix the pecans and cake mix so that the pecans don't burn on top. Also, I was weary of this recipe because it called for the yellow cake mix on top, but MAN oh MAN was it a nice surprise! Science! Gotta love how it just works out. Also, I did use real butter as I am always a fan. I had to refrigerate it the night before because the oven would be taken up all day the next day, but COLD is just as good!!! :)" - floweredapron

    Very very good. I let it cool just a bit and ate it warm. Fantastically gooey and crunchy on top. Would be fabulous with some vanilla bean ice cream!!! Keeper

    Made it for thanksgiving and now my family asks me to make it all the time. Super easy and delicious.

    Took this to a tailgate party today....didn't bring any home! Very easy to make and better than pumpkin pie!

    This was better than I thought it would be. I used an 8x8 Pam and wound up only using 2/3 of the box cake mix. I kept the rest of the measurements the same and it still came out terrific. The kids loved it. This may replace my sweet potato casserole as it is easier to make and less fattening but tastes very similar. Believe this could replace pumpkin pie for me! I hate dealing with pie crusts anyway. :)

    i made this recipe for thanksgiving and my family LOVED it!!! they were saying how this can be a regular desert dish--not just for Thanksgiving. And I totally agree! But instead of pecans (which cost $9-$10 for a small bag here in HI) I used a 11oz bag of Hawaiian Host honey glazed mac nuts and that turned out great!!! I did mix the cake mix with the nuts as well and refrigerated it for a couple of hours too. Served it with some cool whip and watched everyone enjoy it. Its funny because Im not a big fan of pumpkin pie, but having a crunch on there, makes all the difference!!!! C'mon, who agrees with me on that one??? Anyways, Loved it!!!

    This was just outstanding for thanksgiving. It was a big hit with my husband. He said it was a keeper. I did use splenda in place of the sugar. It is very good with cool whip. I made this for some of my neighbors and they said it was great. I will make this again.

    This is so easy and for us it replaces Pumpkin Pie.

    This was a great hit with everyone. We served it warm with whipped cream dusted with fresh grated nutmeg.

    Splurge on this recipe and go with butterinstead of margarine .... and be sure to top with whipped cream!!!!
