These are sooo rich and wonderful - definitely one of the best low-fat treats out there!! I made these using sugar instead of sweetener though. They really are bite-sized and I found they baked quite quickly: the first batch was in the oven for 25 minutes and they were very crunchy around the edges, with soft chocolatey loveliness in the middle! I baked the second batch for 20 minutes, and even then there was already a definite crunchiness there. Not that this in any way affects the lovely taste, but the next time I'll start checking them at 15 minutes. Great recipe, thank you for sharing!
