Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting butter for margarine. You can also experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to enhance the texture. If you prefer a sweeter base, adding a couple of tablespoons of sugar can elevate the dessert. Be careful not to overmix, as it can affect the crumb texture.

They also work well as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. For a unique twist, use them as a crunchy layer in a dessert like Scalloped Sweet Potatoes.
