  1. Made these yesterday for my kids' afterschool snack and of course they were gone - Lickety-Split!!!I've been using a similar recipe for a while now but thought I'd give this one a try.I think I overdid it a bit though on the amount of molasses I used.I thought that it might have affected the flavour of the finished product somewhat but was pleasantly surprised to see that it hadn't.I also added a bit more cocoa than what was called for, as we really like a chocolatey flavour in these addictive treats!!!Very Good!!I will definately be making these again.Thanks,andypandy!!
