  • If anyone wants to know a great way to reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe, you could try using carob in place of chocolate.
    If anyone is interested, there is a company called Holy Food Imports which sells carob produced in Israel. I've been a long time customer of theirs and I have never had an issue with them.
    You can find their website at www.holyfoodimports.com

  • These are not sugar-free, they have brown sugar and chocolate chips in it.
