Well, they look great for the kiddies. Adult tastes might find them a bit too sweet. Additionally, the use of artificial stuff isn't my bailiwick. I like real butter, not cooking spray, and I like real sugar when I use it, not a synthetic like Splenda. Try Stevia instead, and use a lot less. also, use real natural peanut butter, like Smuckers that is made with no sugar. And use about half the brown sugar, same reason .. too sweet! Use a bit of molasses instead.
