Just the thing I was looking for. It was quick and easy and delish! I also cut down on some of the sugar but replaced it with a bit of maple syrup. - 1/22/09

Easy to make, not as sweet tasting as I had hoped. I think it needs to be cooked with the glaze for a bit longer. - 9/15/08

This recipe was awesome. I did add orange extract for additional flavor. Great compliment to baked Talapia - 7/9/08

I make this with Splenda brown sugar to cut the calories but it doesnt take as much - 3/19/07

These were wonderful! I used crinkle cut carrots instead of baby carrots, and I let it simmer a little longer that the recipe called for. I wasn't a big fan of cooked carrots; I am now!! Will make them again and again! - 1/2/11

I was so very happy to eat this! All the people complaining about the sauce just need to simmer it down a little more and keep rolling the carrots in it every few minutes or so. This is fabulous! I cut the butter in half and used 1/8C each brown sugar and honey. Really great side dish, thanks! - 11/11/10

I don't like carrots, but I liked these. I took them my family easter dinner and even my grandmother liked them! She never likes anything that I cook. - 3/27/08

Great everyone loved them. My husband said that he'd eat carrots anytime, if I made them like this. And that's something big, it's harder to get him to eat vegetables than it is my kids! - 2/27/08

I made these tonight for supper. I used Splenda brown sugar, which I think you could use less, than the recipe called for. But they were pretty good. - 3/10/10

For the calorie count I was hoping they would be tastier. I will stick with a little bit of margerine and some dill. - 7/6/09
