Flavor was luscious and a delightful change from graham cracker crusts. I loved the taste and crunch of the almonds. I put crust in bottom only of 9-inch springform pan (instead of 8-inch). I did bake ie 350 deg. for 10 minutes before filling, as the filling was a no-bake one. ***** all the way! Thanks for sharing, Rita.
