So easy and yummy! I made these last night as part of my early Christmas baking, and I'm so glad I decided to try them. The only change I made was to substitute finely chopped pecans for the walnuts because that's what I had on hand. I'm really impressed with the fudgy-cinnamony flavor, and the "crumbles" on top are nice and crispy. Twenty minutes was the perfect amount of bake time for me. The only thing I may change in the future would be to add more instant coffee, because I can't really taste the coffee as the recipe is written. I've only had them room temperature so far, but I really look forward to trying them chilled and frozen after reading the previous reviewers' suggestions. Thanks so much for posting...I'm sure these are going to be a big hit!

With the changes to the email notifications and removal of private messaging, I am no longer able to respond to questions about my recipes. Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
