I substituted sugar free maple syrup and it was wonderful. It really dressed up whole wheat bagels. Loved it!

I found this to be awesome!!! I used fat free cream cheese and it was perfect. I like my walnuts a bit chunkier so I didn't finely chop them. This is wonderful on pumpkin bagels.......oh Yum
