Wow, these are incredible! My modifications: I browned the butter for the crust, toasted the almonds, used only 1-1/2 cups of sugar and replaced the corn syrup with honey. I will definitely be making these again and again. Thanks for a great recipe.

I am a full time mom and wife with four children and a busy DH. We own our own business, which is a mixed blessing. One of my goals for 2009 is to go back to university and finish my undergraduate degree.
I love to read, write, cook, bake, spend time with my DH and kidlets.
We are a big outdoors family and are blessed to live in a small city where a 20 minute drive will get you out into the middle of nowhere! I like to hike, snowshoe, cross country ski, and fish. I also love to travel.
