Oh no! When I copied the recipe, I left out the eggs! I made this last week & my only comment was it needed a good dose of salt. It was a little bitter but the salt helped. Even THE PICKY ONE who 'hates' nuts, liked it! But I forgot the eggs! I guess I'll have to make it again, lol. Made for Pool Party Tag 5/10. I'm giving this 4 stars because it was good as made with the exceptions mentioned above. :~
