Denise,
I was afraid I would encounter this problem as well. After the topping had boiled for 4 minutes, I found I was still waiting for the bottom layer to finish baking. I kept the topping still cooking on a low-medium heat and continued to stir. As well, I did use as many nuts. In fact, only half a cup and found it made better results because it wasn't as thick but still delicious.
Hope it helps!
P.S. This recipe is delicious. I made it for my family and have been having requests to make more! Try it! -

I don't have a tip - I have a question. When I made the nutty toping (following the instructions EXACTLY) it was very stiff and difficult to spread over top of the half-baked bottom layer. I ended up putting the topping on in blobs, then baking for a few minutes to soften, then spreading with a knife, but it still didn't spread as evenly as I would have liked. Has anyone else had this problem? What's the solution?
