I would give this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and the candy turned out great, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

I had a hard time getting the candy to the right consistency. It ended up being a bit too hard.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it turned out great. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
