I'm afraid these did not taste great ~ at least to us. Perhaps more sugar, or the use of brown sugar would have helped. They were not toffee-like at all. I also had trouble brushing the egg white over the unbaked crust - crumbs kept coming up with the brush. I'm sorry that I couldn't give a more positive review.
