I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chestnuts for chopped walnuts. The stuffing was still delicious!

This stuffing was just okay. The chestnuts were a bit too sweet for my taste.

I made this stuffing for Thanksgiving and it was a disaster! The chestnuts were hard and the stuffing was dry. I ended up throwing it out.
