I've not made this recipe yet but will soon. I wanted to share a tip. I used to make a similar recipe called pine bark. With that recipe we would freeze it and break it apart like peanut brittle. Much easier than cutting.

Yummy! They definately were crumbly when cut, I have tried freezing them after they were cut, but not out of the pan. That seemed to help, but they melt quick. I wonder if parchment paper underneath them might make cutting and serving easier. Then, I could just pull out the paper and peel it off. Definately sinful, as I can't seem to stop eating them.

These are really really good and for taste deserve 5+ stars. I would give 3 stars for ease of prep and cutting, though. They created a lot of dishes (a pet peeve) and after chilling were difficult to cut - I ended up using a metal spatula to slice through because a knife just wasn't working. The first one I dished out the layers didn't want to stick together and the bottom cracker stuck to the pan but the rest seemed to be OK. Now that that's all over with though I'm looking forward to eating them! They taste *great*!! Thanks CaramelPie :)

LOVE these cookies! Perfectly sweet and delicious. My only suggestion is to line a parchment paper on the pan, this really helps to remove the cookies out of the pan easily and without a mess.
