Hey! Great idea! I've found that chopping up pecans with sugar, then mixing in heaps of butter and BUCKWHEAT flour (of all things!) is simply delicious! (I added a little salt for balance) I discovered this working on a crust for some fruit bars I was making. The sweet, nutty, buckwheat flavor was a huge hit with my kids. It doesn't rise, but it does get nice and crispy/chewy. My 6yr old son ate all his crust and left the bar. :) It's like a cross between a praline topping and really good buckwheat pancakes.
