For those who complain about no nutritional info, perhaps you shouldn't use this site, or at least use your imagination and learn to make substitutions, or eat what you prepare in moderation. There is always a way to make it work. Life is short, enjoy it!

I've made these many times and they are wonderful. I always use old fashioned oatmeal but you can also use quick oats.

I really enjoy seeing a lot of the recipes at your web site but don't try them as there is no nutritional information and since I'm doing WW I need to count points, yup still doing the old program. Will look forward to when your recipes all have the nutritional value listed. Thanks for a great web site and continued success...Judy :)

Hello cinross 6488852, Sorry about that, you will bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes. This recipe has been updated to reflect the changes. Thanks!

While reading this recipe, I am questioning the "6 packages" of chocolate chips. In a 9 X13" pan, that would be a lot of chocolate. 6 - 12 oz pkgs would be 4.5 lbs. of chocolate, right? Expensive too! Maybe it's right, maybe a typo?? Thanks.
