**I recently started following the WW plan so I thought it was only fitting that I post a WW recipe. I only made 2 small changes to this one, I omitted molasses because I did not have any on hand and I used regular brown sugar because that is what I had on hand. I portioned it out into separate zip lock bags and it did make (9)-1 cup servings. **
I would also like to note the top photo is the one posted where I found the recipe and below is a photo of finished product. Since this recipe came out how it should I wanted to share both with you for comparison. I do hope you enjoy this tasty snack.
