We made these last week and the kids just loved them. I cut them into about one inch square pieces before I wrapped them (2per package). Really rich but a great treat for lunches. Plus packed with peanut butter. No one wanted to share theirs with any one. Already planning on making again.

I made these the other day and mine turned out hard as rocks as well. These were pretty impossible to chop or cut through. Very disappointed.

These are very good! I think maybe Teresa may have boiled sryup and sugar too long;needs to come to a boil stirring til sugar melts. This only takes a second.As a nutritionl snack;I am sure it has way more sugar than most cookies.
