These are so good, it is hard to believe they are healthy (but don't over do it!) My Fiance is obsessed with these and has been begging me to make them and I finally broke down... They are SO EASY, but sooo addicting! Anyway, thought I would share the recipe so everyone else can become addicts too ;) ENJOY!

1. **You can substitute almost anything for any of the ingredients to work around food allergies, special diets, etc. Soy butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sun butter, etc all works in place of peanut butter. You can use creamed or liquid honey, or agave nectar or even maltitol syrup in place of the honey. If you do not like or cannot eat coconut try some type of crushed cereal, wheat germ, whole wheat flour, granola, cocoa powder...the possibilities are really endless. If you cannot find ground flaxseed you can buy it whole and grind it yourself in a coffee grinder or magic bullet or you can substitute any other dry ingredient in it's place. Yes, the mini chocolate chips can be regular sized or carob or you can use raisins, cranberries, goji berries, or crushed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, whatev) of some kind.
