Good for a change from the many chocolate bar recipes I make -- but the chocaholic in me can't help wondering if a bit of chocolate drizzled over the top wouldn't put it 'over the top'???<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"08\/15\/2011 13:00","GUID":"475a65008e2a4230a0312eafeeb2f5d7","MemberId":1073547,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"cherrylady","SubmittedDate":"08\/15\/2011 13:00"},{"Comment":"
Excellent, but almond extract (1\/2 tsp.) to butter, flour, sugar mixture; also use 12 oz. seedless raspberry jam and 1 1\/2 cups almonds - richer tasting and more luxurious looking.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"01\/16\/2011 18:49","GUID":"b12a093410fb47c3854c44c339751f42","MemberId":5767209,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"wgraves42","SubmittedDate":"01\/16\/2011 18:49"},{"Comment":"
I made these bars for Christmas time, and I thought they turned out pretty well. The meringue topping is unique, and they aren't too sweet. While I wouldn't rate it as a favorite, it was very good, and as others have mentioned, I would definitely consider making for a cookie exchange.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/27\/2010 10:24","GUID":"3DDCE39CAA5B441CA884ACA956C7CE3E","MemberId":1821608,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"daph24ne","SubmittedDate":"12\/27\/2010 10:24"},{"Comment":"
I made this easy recipe twice so far. The first time I only had seedless strawberry jam available so used that. The second time I used the raspberry jam. Both were delicious, but we preferred the raspberry. This is a simple recipe, but tastes like you worked all afternoon to create it.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2010 12:15","GUID":"6358e99eb9b54d79a2dc63f94ccb0830","MemberId":5689972,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"pattykasper@gmail.com","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2010 12:15"},{"Comment":"
I made a sample batch last weekend for a cookie exchange I am going to this week. I need 6 dozen so was checking to see how they tasted after freezing. I made them following the recipe and they are fabulous. Can't wait to make 2 more batches and bring them to the cookie exchange. I tasted one today from the freezer and will mark the recipe \"freezer friendly\".<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"12\/05\/2010 21:45","GUID":"D6BF0EF352F04D94A42FA3F4086DE25D","MemberId":337538,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Irish One","SubmittedDate":"12\/05\/2010 21:45"},{"Comment":"
Very quick and very easy to make. Everyone loved them. I did leave the coconut out (husband doesn't like it) but followed the recipe otherwise. I think they would also be great with cherry, apricot or peach jam.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"11\/29\/2010 23:01","GUID":"b9de5d0a8a2f4c84aa082ab372a5f0d1","MemberId":1775737,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tazmotor","SubmittedDate":"11\/29\/2010 23:01"},{"Comment":"
I just got this from my Dec.2010\/Jan.2011 Taste Recipes and I love it. The only differences I made were using an 8\" square pan and using strawberry jam-the strawberry jam because that is what I thought it said until I was ready to put it in the oven. Very good, very easy. Thank you.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"11\/26\/2010 18:44","GUID":"06E9E8088B784503A3D5B272F9179BCB","MemberId":919747,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jslvsclf","SubmittedDate":"11\/26\/2010 18:44"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51282,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
