This is WONDERFULLY delicious ~ I made it for gifts and put it in little decorative Christmas tins. I'm wondering if the recipe could use a bit less butter though, as it seemed very greasy when it was finished cooling. I took the crunch out and set it on a paper towel (before I broke it apart) ~ it absorbed quite a bit of grease. It DID NOT taste greasy, but it was mighty slippery before I 'blotted' it. So when I make this again tonight :D I will cut the butter a bit. Wonderful flavor and a huge hit with the DH. Thanks PrimQuilter ~ made for ZAAR COOKBOOK TAG, December 2009!
