I have made these twice and am just getting around to rating them. They are very good. My two favorite things, chocolate and oatmeal. I used Smart Balance 50/50 Butter Blend and Splenda Brown Sugar and they turned out just great...could'nt tell any difference. Thanks for a great recipe.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I really enjoy finding new recipes and trying them on the unsuspecting public. eating is also a favourite pasttime... [i do that a lot :) ]. I also love artwork [either doing it myself or enjoying someone else's]. But I can't stand the new modern art of "circle in a red square".... a more appropriate title would be "I can't paint but I want to fool the public into thinking I can". Which they didn't.
I love to read. My favourite book is Crime and Punishment by: Dostoevsky.
