This is an amazing, but very VERY rich delight. My childhood best friend and I bake for one another at Christmas instead of exchanging materialistic items. It has become a timeless tradition. She makes these for me every year. But do beware, make them into small bars because they are soooo rich! Perfect for Xmas
