Comments
If you like Chunky Candy Bars, use chopped hazelnuts and throw in about 3/4 cups of chopped plumbed raisins to the crust.

Try this with White Chocolate and Macadamia nuts for the crust, use french vanilla pudding mix, and use a marbling of white and dark chocolate for the topping for a twist that is about as good as good can get!
