Hi Chip,

When taste buds are used to eating sugar, fat and refined flours, healthy snacks often don't taste "good". On the other hand, I have to tell you, my daughter made some healthy cookies last week and they became treats for their pet bird. She had made them before and they were delicious. This time she used molasses instead of honey and no one liked them.

These vegan cookies taste like dog biscuits - you might be better off eating the carob chips and nuts by themselves.

Hi Ashleigh,

Thanks for sharing with us! It's always good to hear from one who has tried and enjoyed them.
