These are the best. I have made them with shmura matzah meal – the death of Pesach cakes – and they are still great. If you can find kosher for Pesach brown sugar, substitute 1/2 of the sugar with that. People swear I am feeding the chometz when I make them.
I am going to try a white chocolate/craisin/macadamia variation on this this year.
Ooh – please let us know how they turn out!
Maybe next year. My son forgot the chips and craisins in NYC 🙁
Nooooooooooooo!
I tried these from a recipe I saved from years ago. Unfortunately, there was a huge mistake in the recipe – it called for 1/2 cup cake meal instead of 1 1/2 cups. What a mess! And what a waste of time and ingredients. But I saved the recipe. Maybe I should try again this year with the correct ingredients.
Try it again. These are really yummy.
