Very good and rich. I was thinking perhaps next time I would leave out the peanuts completely; and use carmel in place of the butterscotch/peanut butter mixture which would accomodate the peanut allergy folks- but it sounds like a good option for all!

Absolutely SUPER! Even after my husbnd accidentally turned up the temperature and over cooked it! Plan to serve it next to my bridge clubs! Thanks, Marjorie

I'm not much of a "baker." But I tried this and it was absolutely WONDERFUL. Hubby can't wait for me to make it again. Friends said this is what you would expect to get at a high-end coffee ship!!!! Five stars is not nearly enough!!!
