Notes
- When we make this recipe we only use half of the sugar and it turns out delicious! We find the original recipe to be too sugary, and we love our sugar. Try using ½ cup sugar for a less intense sugar taste.
- Make this nut-free if you need to.
- Use any chopped nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
- Make sure the center is set and a little wobbly when you remove.
