Hi there, for some reason my computer puts symbols instead of the amount of the ingredients. I'm looking to find out how much brown sugar, and how much honey, and butter is needed. please let me know they look amazing....

These are beautifully delicious! I think they are the best as soon as they come out of the oven because they are nice and warm, crumbly, soft, and the chocolate is still melted, so you can lick it off your fingers! Also, it's great you can choice what to put in theme. With store bought ones they add all these unnecessary, nasty things. All my friends and family loved them! Except my brother because I added raisins. Can't wait to make these again!

Tiffany, at the bottom of the instruction slides there is a little black tab. If you pull it up you'll find a list of ingredients with measurements:)

what are the measurements for the ingrediants?? I feel like I must be missing something but they look delicious! I've been looking for a recipe that doesn't call for peanut butter because my last pregnancy gave me an aversion to pb and it didn't go away after delivery...I can now smell (making me gag) pb from a mile a way or on someone that ate it 8 hours ago!!!

@clare, It would still taste great! You can go ahead and take them out if you want:)

Do you think that they would taste good without the chocolate chips? Then it would kind of be like oats a and honey, right?

Use what ever you prefer Jonnie:) I like semi sweet, but milk chocolate is great too!

Which is better for this recipe, semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips? And if I would also drizzle on chocolate, what kind should I use there too?

Do you think that they would taste good without the chocolate chips? Or are the chips required?
