I was wondering what else I could use in place of Splenda?

These are really good. I used the Splenda brown sugar as well and unsweetened almond milk and simply Jiff peanut butter. First time making and it was a bit of a disaster. For one, the saucepan I used was too small. 2. Once I had everything mixed with the oats, I missed the step about letting the mixture cool before folding in the chocolate chips. Result: a sticky chocolatey mess. After a while, when totally cooled down, the mixture wouldn’t bind. Got it to work, but will change some steps around to make it easier next time.

These are so yummy! The only changes I made were to use Splenda brown sugar blend and no sugar peanut butter as that was what I had on hand. I will define make them again and have some ideas on how to change them up for a different flavor profile. I have some Lily’s salted caramel chips and am going to try chopping them up in the food processor as a sub for the chocolate.

I made this recipe this past weekend. I had everything prepped and ready to go. Super easy to make and delicious. I really enjoyed this. I used every ingredient listed. Taste was great!! I can't roll into perfect balls but my shapes were great. I brought some to share with my coworkers and they gave a big thumbs up as well. I will be making this recipe again.

These are delicious as well as quick and easy to make. I used coarsely chopped raisins in place of the mini chocolate chips. I also added a few tablespoons of a chia seed/flaxseed/hemp blend in place of some of the oats. And I used crunchy PB because it’s what I had. Very good!

I just made these. I've been searching for a low-carb treat to satisfy my sweet tooth. I followed the recipe to a "T" and they are super dry. The taste of the artificial sweetener is bitter. I'm going to tweak it a bit to fit my tastes better and still be low carb. It's just ok. I don't recommend at this point, but we'll see if I change my mind after some adjustments.
