Another keeper thanks great recipe


Well, doc...you suggested these to me to use up my sweetened condensed milk experiment, and I did...YUM!! :) I don't do desserts, as some know, but I do enjoy a lil caramel and shortbread...these are SO tasty! :) And so pretty. I even had one, myself, even though I'm not a chocolate fan, and was pleased...just enough chocolate to give it another flavor, but not be overwhelming. I did sub pecans for the walnuts, as that's our preference. These will be enjoyed, greatly, by those I'm sharing them with! Thank you so much for the recommendation :)


So easy to make and really delicious. They are a little rich, I would recommend cutting the pieces more like 1" x 2". These are nice to take along somewhere - they cut nicely and hold their shape.


Keni sent me this recipe. I just love it, sounds so yummy!! Big 5 from me!


A HUGE five is coming your way, who. OMG, these sound absolutely decadent. Thanks! Welcome to the group.
