Not a huge cantaloupe fan, but this is awesome! Had 2 over ripe cantaloupes about ready to toss, so I thought I would try this... The household was very happy about this one!

With a little tweaking this recipe could be great! It was waaay too sweet for me. Next time I would add half the butter and sugar and twice the cantaloupe. The crunchy topping was really nice.

Only had 2 lemons so I didn't have a full 1/3 cup juice. Also, hubbie is a diabetic so I used 1/4 c turbinado sugar for the full cup sugar. I also only used 1/2 of a yellow cake mix. We really liked it!

Suprisingly good! I hate cantaloupe, but I absolutely loved this recipe! I made a 1/2 batch just to try it out because I really expectd this to taste gross. It was so delicious! It does not taste like canteloupe at all! I am making a full bath to bring over to my parents' house for Mother's Day dinner. I am sure it will be a big hit!

This is a delicious recipe! I followed it EXACTLY as written, using the exact amounts of ingredients called for, and I was totally pleased. Will definitely make again... perfect for leftover cantaloupe! My family (including kids) loved it!

1/3 cup lemon juice sounded like WAY too much to me, so I only used 2 tbsp. An entire cake mix sounded insane, so I used about 1/4 of an orange cake mix on top. I only used 1/2 stick lite butter total (1tbsp went in cantaloupe mix, the rest on top of cake mix). I used 1/3 c splenda and just a spoonful of sugar and it was plenty sweet enough. The flavor was amazingly better than I expected, and I agree that it was kind of like a peach cobbler. Disguised the cantaloupe good enough which is what I was looking for because I was tired of eating cantaloupe. The top didn't get crunchy at all though. Next time, I would add some oatmeal to the topping, maybe some nuts, and maybe a different kind of cake mix as orange was a bit too articially sweet. This was a unique recipe and could be tweaked to be really good I think.

I had a few small rather bland cantaloupes from our garden to use up and this worked well. I cut them into small slices instead of cubes and used a little less than the 1/2 c sugar. In making this again I would certainly use less melted butter on top-maybe half?. The cantaloupe taste was well disguised (my husband guessed peach first) but not entirely absent, and the texture/appearance was quite nice. I'd make it again.

I am not a big fan of cantaloupe. I had some leftover after making a fruit bouquet for a party. This was really good. It did not taste like cantaloupe was in it. It had more of a peach crisp taste. One thing I would do different is the amout of sugar. It was a bit too sweet for me. Will definately make again.
