I made these and put them in tins for last Christmas. Gave out to family and neighbors. Everybody raved about them. I added extra nuts because there's plenty of topping - I used walnuts, pecans, and almonds. Even the non-nut-lover sister said how she couldn't stop eating them. I will definitely be making these again this year. In fact....I'm starting right now!

Great snack. Quick & easy to put together, everybody loved them. I used a small bit of pumpkin pie spice instead of cloves, since thats what I had on hand...

I didn't have the spices listed on hand, so I substituted 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. I also added about 1 tsp vanilla. I liked the changes so much I probably won't bother with the original recipe and make it this way in the future!
