I thought these were, as my kids would say, asi-asi (which is so-so in Spanish). They had decent texture, but there was not nearly enough sweetness. I reduced the fat a bunch by filling a 1/2 cup measure with unsweetened applesauce and filling to the top with oil. I also used lowfat soy milk instead of skim. I thought that maybe the applesauce and the soy milk would add a little sweetness. I'd like to try some brown sugar splenda along with the plain splenda. This one has potential to be used in my family, but would need some tweaking to our taste. That said, I thank you a ton for posting. I am always looking for things like this to try!

These had a nice texture and flavor. A little more Splenda, maybe, as they were not quite sweet enough. I used oil, because I was out of butter. I think butter would have enhanced the flavors, so I will make sure I have some next time!
