Made these for dinner tonight and they were FABULOUS!! I made the recipe just as directed, which was very easy. They were moist and just FULL of flavor. YUM! I didn't have the ingredients for the Tzatziki sauce, though. Will have to try that next time. We just put some light mayo and lettuce on the toasted buns. Thanks for posting!

Canadian girl that loves to cook for herself and for everyone around her!! I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!). I still love my chocolate though!
