I made these for my husband for Valentine's Day and he LOVED them. Boxed them up and they look as good, probably even better than any fancy boxed chocolate (I added pics)! I do not use the egg substitute. I replace the flour with whole wheat flour and usually only use 1 to 1 1/8 cups when I do or it tends to end up dry. They taste just fine without the egg and the only thing I notice different with the whole wheat is the texture. It is a bit grainier, but you can always buy a finer mill of it if that is a problem. :) I left out the nuts because my son won't eat them that way. Oh and I dipped some in white chocolate for variety. I think for St Patrick's day I will make these but use andes mints (chopped small) in place of the mini morsels and use green tinted white choc for covering!
