	I tried these for my son's birthday. He's only 1 and really didn't need a cake but I felt obligated to have one despite our family being on a fairly restricted diet for health reasons. They disappeared pretty quickly. I modified it slightly...I only used 8 Tbsp. agave and a bit less water...they were plenty sweet. To be honest, I think they could have been bricks and they still would have been fabulous because they sat out in the sun all day and had tons of yummy gooey melted chocolate. I personally found them to have a slightly metallic after taste, but my palate is pretty sensitive.
