This sounds delicious. There must be a misprint though... Analysis says 1 serving = 1 rounded TBSP. To me, that's an awful small serving! (at 134 calories and 3g fat per TBSP, a 1/4 cup would be about 500 cal and 12g fat!) The recipe says 6 servings from an 8x8 pan! There must be more than 6 rounded TBSPNS in the finished product!
