  1. These have been a hit with everyone I have ever given them to. Bake sales, parties and school outings, if they are cut bite size.
     
  2. Tastes great...cut back cooking time a bit or it will be dry.
     
  3. I too got the recipe from the pie mix. I assumed it would always be there but alas it is not :< I have tried it with both the almonds and the coconut & they are both to die for. Any jam or jelly will do too.
     
  4. These are very easy to put together. The crust is nice and crunchy while the top is smooth. I used strawberry jam and substituted coconut for the almonds and they were very good!
     
  5. I too have looked everywhere for this recipe.....I had this a week ago at a mum's group and have been craving it ever since. Thanks Sharon! Can't wait to make it...neither can the kids!!
