These were ok. I needed to use up my Cointreau, so I'm hunting for anything and everything that uses it!

I made this tonight and it was given mixed reviews by my family, I personally didn't care too much for the flavour. Recipe was easy to follow and the carrots cooked in the times mentioned.

What a yummy way to eat carrots! We really loved the sweet taste with a bit of a kick. Mine did cook in the 15 minutes, but my oven tends to cook everything faster anyway, since it's gas. Very tasty! Thanks Mary!

Very good, very sweet. These perked up a rather plain meal of chops, mashed, and peas. The oven time was not enough for us, I had to leave them in considerably longer than 15 minutes. Made for Cupid's Choice Beverage Tag.
