Easy & tasty (i did cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup figuring I could add but not take away & it was just sweet enough for me)! However, as others said, very thick (kind of like a solid after 2 1/2 hrs). I added about 1 1/2 cups of milk on the keep warm setting to make it creamy.

Easy to make and delicious! I used 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup Twin sugar, added a cinnamon stick (in addition to the ground cinnamon), vanilla, and 2 cardamom pods, I also only used 2 tablespoons of butter and served without the whipped cream. Next time I will watch over the crock pot more closely though. I left and came home after about 3 hours and it was bubbling over so next time I will either cook lower or stay home and keep an eye on it.

I've made this recipe 4 times and this is the first review - it is soooo easy and sooooo good. A handful of raisins is the only addition I make. This is such a family favorite that my son requested it be served at his 17th birthday party instead of birthday cake!
