Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yummy! I was recently diagnosed with ‘diabetes’ and had been bummed since I really enjoy sweets. I’ve now made these three times and am very happy to have a treat that’s OK for a diabetic! Plus it’s delicious, especially with coffee. It does take a little practice to get the base & topping to spread correctly (I now use waxed paper as a helper).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful treat for diabetics The recipe is so good sounding, but there are no ingredient list to show how much of each ingredient I need, i.e. flour or amount of chocolate chips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolute Bliss You would never guess that the bars are lower in sugar than the original recipe. They have just the right amount of chewiness and sweetness to be satisfying yet not sickenly sweet. I love these for breakfast on the go.
