  1. Thanks for posting this recipe for me Chef Potts, DH (diabetic) was looking for something different and he loves nuts in things. This is such a great recipe, easy and tastes great. I used friand pans and they turned out great! I used a low fat creamy ice-cream and I think it melted quicker than most being a crEamy variety, I will try a different one next time. These are in the freezer and the family have been told they are to be kept for their DD and him alone! I did let them have a taste test and are now disgusted DD is the only one allowed to eat them!!! They are soooooo nice Chef Potts and DH is very happy! Now when the ice-cream is being served, he can now have his own!! He can't have the chocolate sauce, but you know what he put on top of his? ........ yep you guessed it MORE NUTS!!!!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
