Made 2 of the recipes in the candy department, both of them were horrible. I know I did everything by the book, but it was like biting into a bag of sugar. Stationed in Germany , it is 3.15 am and I have to make a new batch of something. Very disappointed, lots of costly ingredients down the drain.

12/17/2011 01:07:49 PM Report AbuseOK, to see the recipe, look to the left side of your screen where the name of the recipe is underlined. Click on that to bring up recipe. Next, look for the print icon toward the top of the recipe page. You should be able to print now. Also, recipe for grapefruit gumdrops is just below the coconut recipe. Not a full recipe, just how to alter the coconut recipe to make grapefruit gumdrops. Something like omit coconut milk, add grapefruit juice, you will see it under the recipe.
