Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Stir in pecan halves and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the top—no mixing!

Notes
For extra gooeyness, add an extra ¼ cup condensed milk. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
