The flavor was good, but I found it a bit dry the first time I made it. I made it again, adding some honey, vegan chocolate chips, and dried cranberries, and I liked that a bit better.

The original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, which is ridiculous and not needed. I find that a half to 2/3 of a cup of sugar is plenty. However, if you use a peanut-only peanut butter you may want to up the sugar a little. I use a no name low fat pb. Experiment with various spices, I also like to add cardamom, ginger, all spice, nutmeg... feel free to even add extra! [I posted this recipe.]
