hubby says no honey, they don't use it, and you're a little heavy on the brown sugar, it's about 1tbsp per pound of carrots. Also they havn't used karo in the carrots in maybe 10 years.

My heavens these were AMAZING! Usually I have bacon grease, this time I was out. Even without the bacon grease these were terrific! Will make next time with the grease. Not that anyone around here needs it, but a dollop of bacon grease in ANY vegetable always makes it that much yummier! Unlike other reviewers, mine did not take on a brown flavor.

Cracker Barrell (for me) ruins so many of their vegetables by adding bacon or ham. A server told me that even the corn bread has "chicken stock". More and more people are becoming vegetarians, and think of the ones that do not eat pork due to their religion, folks from the middle east, Seventh Day Adventist and many others. "Just found out that they put bacon grease on the baby carrots". What is a vegetarian to do...just find another place to eat, I guess. "Wish they would just let veggies, be veggies".

This is an excellent recipe for making carrots. I have always loved the carrots from Cracker Barrel, and this recipe comes pretty close. I reduced the amount of butter a little, and they still tasted wonderful! The recipe doesn't state when to add the salt, but I added mine at the beginning, so the carrots could cook the entire time with it.

Not sure why I haven't done a review. My DD loves these and request for them to be made quite often. They are definitely a staple in our household. The carrots are yummy and very easy to make.
