Think you may be misleading putting the word healthy in there, even though I assume this refers only to the Xocai element, many will be misled, others will simply use it as a green light to indulge. Brown sugar, flour, oats, salt, condensed milk, baking soda are all pretty bad, Vanilla extract less so but certainly not 'healthy'. There are however a couple of ingredients in there that on their own would be healthy, that is butter and eggs and possibly even the nuts too, though you did not state the variety to be used therefore we cannot assume. So healthy? Definitely not.
