    Who bakes zwieback? I'm looking for recipes as an alternative to using store-bought Gerber's--like to use the crumbs as crust for cheesecakes.

    ...Note: I do have a few recipes for zwieback--I'm comparing them and would like to bake more versions

    ...on zweiback: I found a '70s recipe from the LA Times that worked very well! But, called for tonka bean, which I hear is vaguely toxic...anybody know anything about tonka beans from personal experience??

    No personal experience, but I just ran into this article on the Perfect Pantry. Sounds like they're a flavoring and you can sub vanilla.

    Tonka beans have an intense flavour that chefs and food manufacturers have enthusiastically embraced. There’s just one problem – it contains a chemical that could, in large enough doses, kill you.
