I have made this recipe often and always am very conservative on the bake time. Set it at 8 min. and usually add 2 until just slightly browned on the edges and set in middle. They will firm up quite a bit after cooling. They are really good. As far as fitting in the jar goes, I bought two quart jars and I also added a cup of peanut butter chips, 1 cup of raisins, one teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Fit great with just a bit of room at the top. Also followed recommendations to start with flour first and it did look much nicer.

The taste of this is really nice, but I don't use the 3/4 cup of milk. I did the first time I made it and it was way too much in my opinion, too mushy. The next time only used about 1/4 cup. That worked out much better. I always sneak in some extra nutrition by adding green pepper and carrot ground up in the food processor. No one is the wiser!

I don't understand the people who thought this had a bad "aftertaste"? That aftertaste is the spice! Just like you can still taste a spicy curry dish for a bit afterwards. If you love chocolate, you will love these. And if you love spice, go ahead and add another 1/4 tsp. of cayenne, it doesn't really show up much with just 1/4 tsp. Great recipe!
