making this in advance for Yom tov?
this recipe sounds really Yummy. I'm wondering how I would work with it if I wanted to do it in advance, not on Yom tov? would I just bake it and warm it up on the blech? also, I'm wondering how to create a healthier version of the walnut crunch? and finally, can this be served as a side - dish or only as a dessert? thanks so muchReplies:You can certainly make them in advance and warm them up on the blech. Side or dessert, great both ways.
