I have had the *real thing* and these are great!! However, I believe that that recipe could be modified in several ways to make it Atkins friendly. I am not at the point where I can spare carbs or eat whole grains to try any modified recipes... so if anyone wants to try making this and letting me know if it's any good... let me know! I do plan on making these someday.

Production Method

3. Remove approximately 1/3 of the crumb mixture and save for the topping.
4. Spread the rest of the crust mixture into each well greased 9â€x13†pan.

If you want, you could try cutting this recipe in half and putting it in a smaller pan... then there wouldn't be a huge panful of it.
