I could not find my Baklava recipe so I tried this one. For our taste it had way too much vanilla and it overwhelmed the lemon zest even though I added two teaspoons of zest. Good, but way too much of a vanilla cookie flavor.

I made these today and used 1/4 cup castor sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, graham crackers and a cup of ground walnuts. I sprayed a half sheet pan and used a silpat. I spread the choc chips but next time I wll melt them. Scored them while they were hot. One word - YUMMY!!! another two words MOLTEN LAVA!!! so be careful when you are working with this. I much prefer the brown sugar and graham cracker recipe to the saltines. Another hint - melt the sugar and butter together on the lowest heat. When they are melted turn the heat to medium and watch the pot so you don't boil over. I cooked the sugar and butter for 4 minutes when it started to boil and for the last two minutes I lowered the heat to med low. Don't take your eyes off of it.

I toasted my pecans, used Snyders square pretzels and Rolo's. Easier than making jello. Hubby rates them a 6!
