These were really good and chewy. I made them with Splenda brown sugar and Splenda regular instead of regular sugars. Also I would recommend instead of using an ungreased baking dish, to put some parmchment paper on the bottom, with one sheet going lengthwise extending up over the top of the dish, and another sheet going crosswise extending over the top of the dish. I used a glass baking dish, and it was very difficult to go around the edges with a sharp knife to loosen before cutting into bars. That way you can just lift out the whole thing when they're cooled and cut easily.
