Really easy and tasty....just as good as the slower time consuming method on the stove - 04 Dec 2012
Yummy sugar fix, but it came out very cloudy and we had to keep it in the fridge, otherwise it becomes a sticky mess. Even starts going gooey in your fingers if you hold a piece for a minute or two. - 17 Aug 2015
