Made these for the first time a couple of days ago. They are awesome. They did take longer to bake then the recipe says. Monday I will make a diabetic friendly version for my boyfriend and hope they come out as good as the ones I made with real sugar.

Yes! Good! And so simple. Mine took bit longer baking time for the toothpick to come out clean, but they are still nice and chewy after a couple of days. Willpower! My DH doesn't care for nuts in things (what's up with that?) so I chopped them up rather fine so less noticeable. I will be making these again, and again...
