Sorry, but this turned out strange. Was good until pouring the sugar water over the entire thing, which seemed to more or less ruin it. Was I supposed to reduce the sugar water at all? I did get to eat some of it, but wasn't worth the calories. Sounded good, just didn't turn out. Made for Bargain Basement tag game.
