I thought I would really like this. It had a bit too much of an orange flavor for me.

Very good-- my husband ate them, and he doesn't usually like carrots. The kids got to push the button on the food processor and liked that part. One day, they too will eat carrots! Next time I make this, I will cut sugar and maybe butter in 1/2 to try and cut down on calories (hopefully it won't effect the flavor too much)
