I just used nuts and cinnamon, as I don't care for currants, and this is a fairly healthy dessert! I used Brown Sugar Twin in place of the brown sugar and it was a great replacement! Since these are easy to make you can do them individually and bake them in the microwave. I will be making these for late night snacks when the mood strikes! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us Pat! Made for Zaar Stars 3/09 Linda

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
