I totally loved these!! My mom did too. I'm vegan so I subbed soy flour for the powdered milk. It worked beautifully- they tasted like a cross between peanut and soynut butter. Also used golden raisens. Wil be making the full batch next time!

These were very good. But they just didn't taste as good as I had hoped. They were a little too "healthy" tasting for my palate. The texture of them is divine though. Soft and chewy! Thanks for submitting!
