I'm not familiar with those but you could make soemthing good out of:

cream cheese
unsweetened cocoa powder
Splenda or stevia or whatever to taste
coat with Xylitol or other 'sugar alcohol', or maybe Splenda's baking
'sugar' mix

Take this for what it's worth, as it's a high-carb version I plan to make
for others at a holiday party I'm having. The sugar could easily be
replaced with splenda, but I'm not sure what could sub for the oats, if
anything.

1.5 sticks softened butter
3/4 sugar
1 Tbs water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbs Dutch process cocoa powder
2 cups oats

Mix together all ingredients with a spoon or in a stand mixer. Refrigerate
mixture overnight. (It needs to harden.)

Next day, shape into 36 balls, roll in 10x powdered sugar. Serve cold. Keep
leftovers in the fridge, as they're basically balls of butter.

Thanks.

I'll give them a try.

I just made a large batch using an experimental recipe using a
brownie mix.. Had to add extra cocoa to make them darker and extra
flour to make them stiffer, but they are just what I was wanting.
