"I love chocolate, I love honey. When I saw this in a magazine I couldn't wait to make it. Original recipe calls for 3 tablespoons vegetable oil which I substituted for apple sauce."

Thank you for posting this rich and tasty recipe. I did not have mini chocolate chips so I put regular chips in the food processor and chopped them slightly. I think that either it would have been better with the oil or I should have used more applesauce.
