Home made Fig Newtons

http://www.grouprecipes.com/87926/homemade-fig-newtons.html

I changed these into healthier version:

I used1/3 cup orange juice concentrate and 5 drops stevia instead of 1 cup sugar for the filling portion.

I used whole wheat flour instead of white and added about 1 cup of honey to crust instead of sugar with 5 drops stevia.

These substitutions made for great fig newtons probably not a sweet as the original, but plenty sweet for anyone eating them.
