I made these, but did not eat them myself because I'm not a fan of chocolate (I did steal a few toffee pieces, though--bad Edith, bad, bad!). I have it on good authority that they were quite delicious. I didn't have any parchment for lining the cookie sheet, so I just greased it, which worked out all right.
