Hi PJ! These bars sound and look just the thing when I need gooey and chocolaty but not a brownie again! My query - is the given amount of sugar and chocolate chips a must for the gooey texture? I do not want this to be very sweet. Help!! And I must say, love the passion with which you guys work(or have fun rather!), keep rocking!! Thanks for your words of encouragement... When you alter the sugar in a bar, yes, it changes its texture. The bar will probably be drier, and more cakey rather than gooey. Rather than alter the sugar, how about using bittersweet chocolate chips; or mixing chopped unsweetened chocolate in with regular chocolate chips? That might provide a nice balance to the sweetness... PJH
