This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The strawberries were mushy and the toffee sauce was too hard.

This recipe is way too time-consuming. I spent over an hour making it and it wasn't even worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly and my toffee sauce turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the toffee sauce.

I made this recipe for my vegan friend and she loved it. She said it was the best vegan dessert she'd ever had.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds in the toffee sauce. It was still delicious.

I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of my strawberries and it was heavenly.

I used frozen strawberries and the recipe still turned out great. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait for fresh strawberries to be in season.

I was a bit skeptical about the balsamic vinegar, but it really worked well with the strawberries and toffee. The flavors were well-balanced and the dish was not too sweet.
