WOW! This is phenomenal! The different layers make it very appealing to the eye, as well as tasty. For the topping I used white chocolate chips and left out the coffee granules. I am a coffee drinker, but some of the people that were having the dessert are not. I brought it up to work, so poured the topping over it and sprinkled with the toasted nuts rather than having it on the side. The topping hardened a little but was sooo incredible! I highly recommend this! It's wonderful! I got rave reviews at work too :)
