    What a delicious bar and combo with the cake mix, butterscotch and white chocolate chips Jenna! No one needs to worry about them staying fresh for a week, they won’t last that long 🙂

  6. Oh my this looks amazing Jenna!….This recipe with the Butter Pecan cake mix reminds me of a dear, dear lifelong friend who had lost her battle with a kidney disease a few years ago. We were at a restaurant when she was visiting me. The dessert’s main ingredient was a Butter Pecan cake mix. When she returned home, that cake mix was no where to be found….I sent her 6 boxes of that mix and continued to do so through the years. So this brought back fond memories! Have a great week Jenna.
