A sweet, nutty topping is the crowning touch to this dessert-like coffee cake from Mrs. Eugene Plager of Grundy Center, Iowa. "It tastes especially good when warm," she adds.

I made this as an entry for quick coffeecake at the Northern Wis Dist Fair. It turned out well, level with a nice texture. Judge thought so too as gave it blue ribbon and then one of three outstanding exhibits. My family liked flavor and I used only 2 candy bars.
