Made May 27th. These were so good!! Dangerously good at 6 pts for 12 servings!! Well, per the nutritional info they are only 4 points, but I substituted the swirled chocolate and peanut butter morsels for the mini chips because that is what I had. Wowsers!!

The only problem I had with these is that they didn't keep their form very well. They were very crumbly. But, I'm willing to overlook that considering how delicious they were!
