Very nice and adaptable. I used 1 cup whole wheat and 1 cup all purpose flour. I cut down the granulated sugar to 1/2 cup but still added a little brown sugar... the result was plenty sweet. I added dried papaya, macadamias and also added a chopped banana (almost added coconut too). I also had to add a few TBSPs of milk to get the right consistency. 20 minutes was too much baking time... 17 - 18 minutes is plenty... or maybe baking at 350 would suffice. Overall, we enjoyed the result and I will make these again.

Very easy to make. I used dried papaya and walnuts. These were done and browned by 20 minutes. I think they might do okay with less time so I would check them around 15-16 minutes and add on time as needed. DH loved the taste but I thought it could use a bit more flavor. I suggest lightly greasing the pan since I had to gently pry them out.
