Very, very good ! I did not do the glaze but they are very yummy without it. Due to a phone call I overcooked mine a little but I have just trimmed the drier edges and the middle is great and quite addictive. The pre cooked mixture was really yum, I must confess !!! I used almonds as my nuts plus threw in some dates. Made for ZWT 6.
