I used pecans and swapped Splenda for the sugar to end up with some very yummy cookie balls. Also should mention that I used dark cocoa for that extra bit of chocolate pleasure. Mine were ready to come out of the oven at 12/13 mins so keep an eye on them if your oven runs a bit hot like mine. Really scrumptious and way too easy to keep popping into your mouth for "just one more!".
