A little more gooey than I normally go for, but you called it right ~ "Delicious and gooey!" Great for the Sweettooth who likes nuts, & a nice change from the usual! My neighborhood kids were certainly drawn to it & insisted on a 5-star rating, so here you go! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
