I make mine very similar to this, with few variations, and it turns delicious each time. So I tried this recipe this time and it's just as good! I used 1 cup almonds and 1 cup brazilnuts instead of walnuts which I didn't have. I kept 1 loaf and DH took the remaining 2 loaves to give to 2 of his classes and it was enjoyed by ALL! Thank you, Steve_G, for sharing!
