Can you honey instead of the sugar or the taste would be too weird? - 9/8/09

Honey might be good, but I probably wouldn't use as much honey as sugar, it might overpower the flavor. The sugar is what helps keep it soft once frozen, but I think that the sugar content in honey would have the same effect. If you try it, let me know how it works out.
