well i was going to try them,,,but not after all the negative comments about, i guess i will look for a better recipe elsewhere !
2/6/2010 05:59:08 PM Report AbuseTried these. They were awful! I was going to give these too my neighbors, but through them out instead. Maybe because I doubled the recipe?
12/22/2009 01:15:29 PM Report AbuseI also make these every year, from the better homes & garden mag ,april 2001. i prefer the 2 types of coconut, sweetened & unsweetened. Also the sugar is 1cup in that recipe.,& not the 30 mim drying time. Afew other differences ,so I won't be changing, we did you?
12/21/2009 04:46:09 PM Report AbuseI make these every year and my recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar.
11/21/2009 07:25:21 PM Report AbuseI'm wondering if the sugar should be 1/3 cup instead of 1 1/3 cup. They were sickening sweet and will probably end up in the garbage. Checked on-line for other recipes and none had this amount of sugar.
