Oh my gosh, this is absolutely wonderful!! I could have eaten the entire pan! Omitted the walnuts and used a finely ground unsweetened coconut. The caramel icing is to die for, very similar to fudge. Easy to make. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007.

Made this today when I was craving something sweet. It was fast and simple to make, and just as fast to empty the plate, good thing for the freezer. Thanks for the great dainty tray sweet recipe. Will make it again, and again.
