This was my first attempt at crème brûlée and I followed the directions exactly. It was much easier than I expected, but the taste met with mixed reactions around my house. The custard part was sweet and rich with a nice light vanilla flavor and it was sort of peanut buttery on the top and bottom edges. I don't know why it didn't go over better. I'd bet we're among the very few who won't love it, but I don't think I'll make it again myself. Sorry.

Oh Paula, we just loved this! This was my first time making creme brulee and certainly won't be my last. I didn't pour the cream mixture through a fine sieve but otherwise followed the directions. It was easy to make and the results were so good and rich. Thank you for posting this recipe! ;)

We were looking to do something with the extra Halloween candy we bought and used up the Butterfinger pumpkin balls on this. Well, I just loved it! Easy, yummy, different than regular creme brulee. We of course didn't let them sit overnight. No chance with the Butterfinger lovers I know. I found the recipe on the net somewhere else (Nestle too) and was going to post it, but you already did! Perfect intructions!
