  1. Whipped up a batch of these this afternoon, and they did not disappoint! So quick, easy and delicious; exactly what I needed to cure my sweet tooth!

  2. You had me at Walnut! I absolutely love how easy this recipe is and the fact that I can use walnuts, or any nuts, makes it even better. But I’ll probably never use anything but walnuts because they’re the best LOL!
