I'm glad they're still on the list, as they're a great little treat, and very handy for a sweet fix.
Even if they were removed, however, I would still use them if I wanted to.
Why?
Well, if it was working for me before, then it won't suddenly stop working just because the official plan has been tweaked, assuming the recipe for them hadn't changed drastically.
This was one thing my consultant confirmed unofficially when I spoke to him when I joined in January. I moaned about the fact that corned beef was no longer free, and that tins of meatballs had gone up from 1 or 2 syns to 13 or 14 syns per can.
He reckoned that as these things had worked for me before, they will work again, maybe just not as well as the revised plan would.
