Just made them, exactly as the recipe states. Next time, I'll use less of the discs--a little too much chocolate for me, which is something I thought impossible. But it's a great recipe, and well worth the trouble.
I am amused at the people around the internet who are disappointed--they followed the recipe exactly, except they used spelt flour or Crisco or white chocolate or dried eggs or some such weird substitution.
Rachel, you sound very sensible - indeed, make all the substitutions you want, but don't expect the final result to be as written. It's a surprisingly difficult concept to get across... PJH
