Das schmeckt doch immer. Unfortunately the hazelnuts are very hard to find in Colorado and if they are way too expensive. I am sure it would also taste great with almonds. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I agree, it would taste great with almonds. I have also added half nuts and half chocolate chips and the result was delicious.
