This was good. I like mine really sweet so I added more splenda. I had to sub. chocolate with 3 tbsp of cocoa 1 tbsp oil per ounce (4 total). Was 2 ounces short of 16 for the cream cheese and I cut smaller coming to about 273 cals a piece from my variations. Calories are really high on this only bad thing but it hits the spot.
