My family loved these. We ate most of them straight from the oven with spoons and bowls, though they were also tasty eaten cool and solid as intended. I could see some people preferring a less cakey or more solid texture like traditional brownies, but I don't really understand how anyone would dislike these overall. The only prominent ingredients are yellow cake, caramel, and chocolate, and nothing magical happens to disguise those, so if someone doesn't like these things, I'd advise not trying this recipe. To me, the gooeyness is exactly what is great about these. I'm going to use even more chocolate and caramel next time.

Lima beans are among the few foods I dislike, so maybe that's why I was so impressed that this recipe made them not only edible, but also tasty. We bought dried lima beans for my stepson, who eats canned limas almost every day, but it became apparent that he wasn't interested in the soak-overnight-and-cook-for-two-hours variety. Not wanting to waste them, I tried this recipe hoping to disguise the beans. Between the seasoning and long cooking time--I had to cook them a lot longer than called for, but that might be the fault of our decrepit oven--all that usual lima bean "dirt" taste was cooked right out.

Love this on rice and fish. Also good with spring rolls.
