Dying is easy...making candy is hard. Having never made anything candy-related in my life, I tried making this recipe three times, the first time it wasn't cooked enough, the second time it was gritty and had an unpleasant chewy texture, and the third time it was okay but there was butter residue; the butter separated despite all my efforts to the contrary. I cooked it to just shy of 300 degrees. I poured it onto the pan anyway and let it cool, and I just sopped up the extra butter with paper towels as best I could. The toffee I've eaten in the past wasn't covered in butter residue, so mine looked a little weird but it tasted great. I used scharffenburger semi-sweet chocolate melted in a double boiler and chopped hazelnuts from my trip to Oregon. It turned out pretty good, but again the butter residue. I'm sure there's a secret to keeping the toffee from separating, if there is I haven't learned it yet. By the way, this recipe makes A TON of candy, you need lots of friends and family to give this away to, it makes a great gift if you can keep it from separating.

I made these last night and they are very good, and so easy to make. It tastes like an oatmeal cookie with a gooey date filling. I didn't have quick-cooking oats so I used regular oats but they still tasted really good. This one is going into my recipe book, I will definitely make it again.

I was very skeptical of the high rating on this recipe. I'm used to tomato-based enchiladas, so the ingedients seemed a little weird to me. Boy was I ever wrong, these are the most delicious enchiladas ever, the diced green chiles really pull the flavors together. I followed the recipe exactly and the smell as it was baking was wonderful, my next door neighbor asked if she could come over for dinner. And this recipe makes wonderful leftovers, as with a lot of dishes, the flavors just get better when they are allowed to set overnight in your refrigerator. Take them to lunch the next day, you'll be the envy of your coworkers.
