The carrots were still crunchy, the honey overpowered the taste of the filling, it was awful. We took one bite & threw it out. It was very pretty with the coconut but inedible. Perhaps if the carrots were blanched before adding as 12-15 minutes is not long enough to cook them and skip the honey in the filling.
