    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

    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

    O.K.
    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

    My dad used to make this at home... it tastes fantastic but it's really not too healthy. It'd probably be possible to reduce the amount of sugar (or increase the amount of carrots!) a bit to improve the balance a little. - 3/15/07
