I made this and brought it in to work, all along I've known these as "Karen's Brownies" but now they're trying to tell me it's a Texas sheetcake! Anyway you look at it it's a pretty good recipe, makes a lot and is always gobbled up fast! Great to bring to a block party, work, bake sale or when you have to bring something to the school play -- the kids snatch these up so fast that your plate is empty in no time and you can pick it up and go home right away!
