Sounds like a good recipe. Too bad nuts are so expensive.

Yes that is a downfall to this recipe but so worth it, they are very very delicious. you may even could omit the nuts or use a another type of nut.

I have been buying Pecans from Sams for less than nine dollars for the 2 1/2 pound bags. Not sure why the price is so low. Walnuts have gone up to almost sixteen dollars for the same size bag. Not sure why walnuts are so high. I buy a lot of my nuts from the Nut Factory here on the Internet. My deep freezer is full of nuts since I use so many of them. Walnuts are good for your heart. Eat 4 ounces a day.

I have a friend that has 4 huge pecan trees in her yard and has told me that I am welcome to come over anytime and bag up as much as I want. It seems everything is going up so darn high...
