This is very good! Everyone who has tried those I made has raved about them. There are some good recipes on this site. Don't let the surprise ingredient put you off.

You're RIGHT!!! These are extremely good, and easy. (They DO have a lot of fat and calories.)YUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!

I have this recipe and make them a lot. My version of the recipe calls for sprite or 7 up. I use the diet 7-up and splenda and they taste great. The first time I made them I followed the recipe and used regular 7-up and sugar the second time I used the diet and splenda. My husband could not tell the difference.

Have you tried the Splenda/Brown Sugar mix for baking? I made some cookies yesterday and they are not bad. We try to use the Splenda instead of sugar.

We absolutely love these!! Try using 1/2 Sprite or 7-Up and 1/2 Cream Soda!!

quilty kitty, ccbear, and crossginny:

Thanks for the good news!! (that Splenda works in this recipe) (I used Fresca for the soda, and that worked fine,too.)

That will help a lot with the calories. Now if we could just solve the butter problem. :) :)

I think I will try them with fresh peaches, too. THANKS for this recipe!!

That sounds so good. Might have to make 2 desserts for our end of the month potluck!!!
