Got the thumbs up from my lot. They wolfed them down as soon as I put them on the cooling rack. All I got was a crumb .

Pecans or brazil nuts I feel would also work with this. I am not a fan of walnuts, fresh yes. In plastic bags no. Always leaves me with a bitter after taste. For a touch of luxery, macadamia's or pistachio's might also work.

These are my all time fave treats. I try to buy them from the cafe round the corner from us. Seems everybody likes them and they are often gone already by the time I get there. Will now have a go at making them.

Didn't think of using pecans. Will next time when its just me scoffing them.
