Soooo delicious and addictive! Some thought they were a bit too sweet, and others ould not stop eating them! Make sure to let cool in fridge before cutting though, otherwise they will fall apart! Thanks for sharing, awesome recipe :)

I made these squares exactly as the recipe is written and they were absolutely amazing! I have to laugh though when they say it makes 24 servings in a 9 X 9 pan! Really??!! That's one way to keep the calorie count down!

I'm honestly not sure what a "butter tart" is, particularly since there is no butter other than in the crust. This was WAY too sweet! (I should have read the reviews about adjusting the sugar before baking it, especially after I kept wondering about the quantity of 1 1/2 cups.) While I followed the recipe, I was intrigued with the optional additions and decided to try adding butterscotch morsels. Unfortunately, this probably added to the sweetness as well. This seemed more like candy than a tart/cookie/cake. It was easy to make, I had no problem with getting it out of the pan and it did not fall apart when I did remove a piece. I definitely would not make it again.

Made this last night, yikes, so good! I did 1.5 times the recipe in a 9x13 glass pan. I think doubling it would make it too thick and even more rich. I need to hide it from the family (and myself!) until Christmas. I'll make this again and again.

Loved making these squares. I had to work a little with the recipe but I found that using 1 1/4 cup of sugar worked well when I did not use raisins or coconut. I looked at some of the suggestions about how to maintain a soft layer on top and was able to come up with a suggestion that combined a few ideas. I used a metal pan for making the cakes but bought a few foil pans to put on the top of the pans 10 minutes before taking them out and left them on until they cooled. This created the 'tent' effect in a quick and easy way for me. I also ground the oatmeal and this made the squares very similar to butter tarts. So far they have been a success. With me anyway as I feel I ate a whole pan on my own! This was a fun and easy recipe.

So good! And easy, which is the best part, followed the recipe exactly, except I didn't have coconut so i used raisins and chopped walnuts.. My crust turned out perfectly- not crumbly like others have added, you really need to work the butter into the flour/sugar mixture and it will turn out perfect.. Happy Holidays!

This is an awesome recipe. Easy to make. Tons of compliments. Made the recipe exact. Didn't add the optional coconut. Just a nice balance of sweetness. I have made many squares in my life, and this one is in the top 10.
