  1. I may have used too big a loaf pan, because my layers came out quite thin, which made handling them rather fiddly. They're awfully cute, though!
     
  2. Made these for a Halloween party and they were a hit. I found the recipe on the Betty Crocker site as well and made per the directions. Thinner cookies hold their shape better than the thicker slices. They do "grow" as they are baking so beware. And to add to the decadence, I dipped the brown section in melted chocolate. Mmmmm!
