Delicious! I tossed all of the crust ingredients in my food processor and pulsed them until crumbly. Very easy, and very tasty. I was craving toffee, and this hit the spot. So much so, that my middle of the night snack was still on my cheek when I woke up this morning! Thanks!!

Yum! I used a mix of almond and pecan in place of the walnuts. The base mixture was very dry and crumbly but did end up holding together ok once baked. A sweet treat thats nice with a cold glass of chockie milk :) Reviewed for PAC Fall 2007
