Because I am diabetic, I made this with Sugar Twin's brown "sugar" and Log Cabin's Maple flavored syrup made with Splenda. It turned out wonderful. These won't last long in my house. I can only imagine how the must taste with the "real" stuff. Whether you make it exactly according to the recipe or make it sugar free, you should try this one. It's WONDERFUL! Thanks for posting.

<p>When I joined Recipezaar in 2002, there were only 10,000 recipes, but I thought that was a LOT!! I quickly became addicted to this site and the friendly people I found here. Troy and Gay were the original owners of the site, and I miss them and their interaction with the members.</p>
