My experience

I believe two cups of oats makes it dry. I'll go back to the original 1 cup of oats to 1/2 cup of peanut butter

Not recommended

Not sure what I'm missing, but I followed the recipe to the letter and they didn't turn out well. They were very dry and the peanut butter wouldn't stick well to the oats, so I had a huge pile of oats with a little bit of peanut butter. I wish the instructions were more specific. It's great they are simple and easy to follow, but it leaves a lot of room for enough error to change how these turn out.
No, I don’t recommend

I was wondering what else I could use in place of Splenda?

These are really good. I used the Splenda brown sugar as well and unsweetened almond milk and simply Jiff peanut butter. First time making and it was a bit of a disaster. For one, the saucepan I used was too small. 2. Once I had everything mixed with the oats, I missed the step about letting the mixture cool before folding in the chocolate chips. Result: a sticky chocolatey mess. After a while, when totally cooled down, the mixture wouldn’t bind. Got it to work, but will change some steps around to make it easier next time.
