What a gem of a recipe. I made these for my family for a snack on the weekend. DH ate and ate and ate them. They were sweet and creamy and really did taste a lot like a carrot cake. Thank you for sharing with us.

I just served these little treats at a Ladies' Open House- they were a hit with everyone!!! Thank you, Queen, for making me look like an awesome cook. (I used toasted chopped walnuts and thick boutique-style raisin bread.)

These were a big hit at my Girls Martini party, I cut them out with little heart cutouts

I made these for a breakfast potluck at work. Everyone loved them, and were intrigued by the unique combination of ingredients. Easy to make the night before, and have ready for a morning event. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the filling make enough for 2 loaves of bread.

I made these for my mom's 80th birthday party, and all the ladies loved this. These tea sandwiches went before the food that was catered went. Definetely a hit. Thanks for sharing. I added crushed pineapple, but made sure it was drained very well.
