I made these as is and they were pretty darn good. I have a very sweet tooth so I'll definitely try them again with a few additions. I think they could benefit from extra cinnamon and a little extra sweetner., I might even use a "sharper" cheese. I made these in my healthy style so.. gluten free flours, monkfruit sweetner instead of sugar. For nuts I used almonds.

Made these today- they are SO good! Made exactly as written- used pecan cookie pieces (small chips) for the nuts. I have been wanting to try them for awhile, and glad I did! I love that they are not too sweet- perfectly savory/sweet. Will be making these again and again, for sure! Thanks truebrit!

These are so incredible! They are so different that I hesitated making them, but I'm so glad I did. My toddler is eating them right now. I used hazelnuts for the nuts. Soft, sweet and delicious!
