I've been making these since I was 8. They're so yummy! Since I've gotten older, I've adjusted things to make them more healthy. I started using skim milk, using half the sugar, replacing some of the oatmeal with wheat germ, leaving out the butter (as the peanut butter adds enough fat). They do taste a little different, but I think that makes them healthy enough to eat whenever I have a chocolate/peanut butter craving (which is frequent) without feeling an ounce of guilt.
