I got this no-bake cookie off a diabetic recipe website. It contains no artificial sweeteners. The nutrition info is included. You could probably exchange chopped nuts for the wheat germ, if desired, but it might change the dietary exchange. It is not TNT, but I will be including it in my cookie assortment for this year.
