About
This recipe is so easy to make and comes out perfect every time! It features a candy-like filling encased in a sturdy shortbread crust. It's nutty and buttery, with just a hint of honey -- a thin slice with a dollop of whipped cream is the perfect partner to after-dinner coffee. Plus, it transports well, making it a great dessert for potlucks and other group dinners. A big hit with my hiking group!
