Easy to do - I just put he lot into the food processor - and great to eat, addictive in fact. I used almonds as my nuts and ground them up with the chocky in the food processor. Made as a Family Pick for ZWT 6.

These are delicious, rich bars, very satisfying. They're so good, my husband said, "You burned the edges a little, but that makes them taste even better!" Thanks so much for posting these goodies! Made for ZWT6 Chocolate Challenge.

Made & reviewed for Ramadan Tag 2009 in the NA*ME forum. I made a batch of these tasty treats for my children & their friends....they were gone in seconds! I wanted to take a photo, but I was too late - all I found were a few crumbs on the plate & a room full of happy kids!
