How do you remove the stripe in front of the ingredients ?

Very good. I bought the 30 oz family size of dough and used the same amount of oatmeal and baked them in a jelly roll pan and doubled the topping. Great for a potluck or picnic.

I used pecans instead of cashews. The crust was a little dry. I'll try them again but next time I don't think I'll use the oatmeal, hopefully the crust will be a little more chewy.
