Would make this again.
Very good! This is my husband's new favorite! I agree with Valerie in Ottawa about using two egg whites for the top part. Everybody loved them!

Would make this again - definitely! Very good, but I agree with with Valeria about using 2 egg whites. These will be a new Christmas tradition! My husband can't keep his hands off of them.

Very good but i think I would maybe use two egg whites for the top part next time, there wasn't really enough to properly spread across the top. I thought it was easier to put the base into the pan with my hands, maybe a little messier but it worked quite effectively.

Would make this again.
Very good! ... the dough is a bit sticky to work with when pressing into the greased pan, but the return was worth the effort!
