I had originally set out to find the recipe for brown sugar candied carrots, but I had a jar of molasses that needed used, so I thought I'd try these. They're delicious! The molasses lends a completely different flavor of sweetness. Thanks!

Very good carrots. I made these with a crock pot chuck roast and homestyle fries. My daughter said they were ok. I loved them! They kinda tasted like sweet potatoes to me. I used whole carrots cut up. I will be making these again, if only for me. :-)
