    I made a version with 30 less calories per serving and only 2.3 grams of fat vs the 6.9 in this one. My only revisions were using Splenda instead of sugar, and reduced fat peanut butter. No difference in taste but you lose 1/2 the fat and 30 calories you can use to perhaps add some raisins. - 3/25/09

    I agree that these are high in calories but I LOVE them. And I have made them with almond butter before and I have also added the whey protein powder as well. Good any way you 'slice' it. - 3/24/09

    So a one tespoon sized serving is 130 calories? I'm sure they're delicious, but that's way too many calories for such a tiny snack! - 3/24/09
