    Great recipe. As usual I modified like I do with almost every recipe I try. I added and stirred in quite a bit of dry fruit before adding condensed milk (raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds etc). Did not use sugar but added a tbs Honey to make it soft as my extra ingredients were making it too dry.
    Net result, amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Will be used quite often. Easy and taste to die for.
