So easy, So addictive! I used graham cracker crumbs and pecans. I scaled it down to 1 dozen just to try for myself and Buddha. We will definitely be making these at our next gathering/party. Thanks Aunt Helen!, and Thanks Gatorbek for posting it. :)

I live on the coast of Florida, near St. Pete. Great seafood abounds here! Cooking good, family friendly meals is my passion, and my kids are as into it as I am. (My 3 year old cracks a mean egg!) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
