I was a little nervous about making these, but it turned out really well! They're delicious and fairly easy to make, too. (And if I, a baking newbie, can do it- so can you). :) I took these to a gathering with a Church group and they were a hit. I'd definitely make these again. - 2/13/11

These are ok, but i would like a little tarter. A little dry at first - then after an overnight on a plate covered w/plastic it was moister. Confectioners sugar would not stay on top very long I finally refrigerated what was left and after an overnight liked it better. GOOD nut stats. - 4/17/21

Didn't turn out so well for me - the topping is way too sticky, and even cooled they were hard to cut without making a mess. They taste good but I won't take them out in public. - 4/17/16
