These were incredible! I didn't have any yogurt on hand so I substituted half light sour cream, half light miracle whip. The texture was light and sponge-y and the flavor combination was really delicious! I used finely chopped candied ginger from recipe 123111 and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. THANK YOU for sharing! This is definitely my new favorite lo-fat sweet treat!
