yankeefan2525 Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2008	Review Date: Wed December 31, 2008 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy, quick, easy ingredients Cons: after taste I made these with 12 packets of splenda like suggested, I would probably cut it to 8. No room in the freezer, and I planned to just put them outside. Living in NJ, in December I figured it would be cold enough. Nope, it was 60 overnight. So, I refrigerated them. They felt like fudge. I didn't like the aftertaste. Then, I froze them and they were great. A lot less of an aftertaste. It's probably my fault though. I wish there was a way to fill these with PB, maybe I'll try making a cup, fill it half way, freeze it, plop PB on it, freeze it, then fill the rest with chocolate, like a Reese's PB cup.
