I tried a different recipe that used Swerve granular & Swerve confectioners sugar. Will they work with this recipe & what amounts would I use? I had trouble with the baking time on the other recipe & they came out hard. Are these supposed to be chewy in the middle or crispy all the way thru? I'd like to try this recipe.

How many would be considered one serving. I'm thinking that if I don't know I run the risk of others and eating the whole batch. I'm on phase 1 of the south beach diet. Thanks :)

Great recipe but MUST use real eggs (not carton of egg whites) or it won't work. I tried twice with carton egg whites and failed. I also used half the sweetener with dark chocolate cocoa and it had a wonderful dark chocolate flavor. Next time ill try it flavored with coffee.

I made these tonight and only ate half the batch through sheer will power. It's like eating chocolate air. Very light, fluffy, just melts in your mouth. I used real egg whites, Splenda granular, and unsweetened cocoa powder (generic) and they turned out wonderfully. My only problem is going to be making a batch of these every two days!
