  1. im gonna try mm's. smarties are a tart candy. im thinking not in this sweet recipe.
     
  2. Try butter.
     
  3. I made this for a potluck lunch at work to rave reviews...what I loved the most was how quick it was to make...The crust is easy and is the perfect texture (not too hard that it's hard to cut, but does not crumble either). The filling is so yummy...there are lots of options if you don't like smarties too.
     
  4. Really tasty! I ran out of Smarties so substituted 1/2 of them with chocolate chips. Still sinnfully yummy. :)
     
  5. Omg I making this for Thanksgiving and I'm hoping everyone will like it.. I hope it turns out well cuz its still baking.

Tweaks

  1. This was pretty good. I don't want to rate it because I didn't make it exactly as written - I left out the nuts and used butter instead of margarine. I think this recipe was good but it didn't blow me away - maybe it would be better with the nuts!
