I made this last weekend. I used the white chocolate chips as suggested by others. I mixed the brownie batter together with a bowl of cereal (a scoop and a spoon works best). I put the batter in a foil-lined pan and just brought it to the boil when the cakes popped... I let boil for 2 minutes. Then I removed the cakes from the heat and let cool completely in the foil-lined pan. I assemble the brownie batter as directed in the recipe, and then I take the brownie and mix it into the cake and then I frosting to decorate. Pretty good, but I would swap it for another recipe's brownie mix:)

I've made this recipe for Christmas and New Year's Eve. Both times it's been a huge hit. Last time I will make it again. Prepare the pie filling just as directed. You could of course leave out the baking powder and cinnamon, but that would obviously ruin the pie. I did this with a vanilla cake mix instead of the strawberry cake mix. It turned out fantastic.

It tasted like pumpkin pie spice. Not cinnamon flavored. Not even close.
