Easy to make. Very tasty. But the top layer of peanuts fall off. It would be better to use finely crushed nuts for this layer rather than 'roughly cut' as per recipe instructions. Cheers. Nata. Australia.

This is my favorite type of recipe. It is as easy as it is delicious. Interestingly, the flavour gets better after a few days.
