Like tfisk, I found these to be too crumbly, and they got more so after a day, then 2 days. I prefer the original 7-layer bars recipe.

5/23/2011 11:58:34 PM Report AbuseTaste was good, but didn't hold up well as far as a "bar" goes... too crumbly and difficult to cut. Won't make again.
2/1/2011 12:07:15 PM Report AbuseThese are wowie zowie good. I used some smashed Girl Scout shortbread cookie crumbs instead of the graham cracker crumbs--the cookies had taken a header off the top of the refrigerator and were already pretty crushed--and when I took the almonds out of the freezer a bag of coconut came too. I took this for Divine Intervention and added coconut--wow. Amazing. So easy and so delicious. Talk about a wonderful recipe.
