>> I actually prefer the ones without the pecans. I don't know, but I find the ones with the pecans don't seem as gooey and good. Both of my grandmothers made awesome butter tarts. I would spend most of my summer each year on my maternal granparents' farm, and almost everyday my grandmother was baking something - bread, buns, pies, tarts . . . I miss those homemade goodies < sigh >> Now *my* mouth is watering. And I just discovered that my son discovered my emergency stash of chocolate covered almonds. Not a one left, and there was over a pound. <marg simpson grumble>

>> Uh-oh :-( I, too, am very territorial of my chocolate covered almonds. My younger brother, who rarely ate chocolate or candy when we were growing up, lived at my place for about a year, and he would get into the chocolate covered almonds when I had bought some. I was like wha wha whaaaaaaaaaaat are you doing, you don't eat chocolate LOL.
