Absolutely terrible. I made this 3 times before I realized that it was the recipe itself that was garbage.

This is so much better than commercial candy that you buy. It has a mild buttery orange flavor - not imitation tasting. I halved this recipe and it still made plenty. I think this would be wonderful in a gift basket. I think it would be helpful to have an extra pair of hands because it does take some time to wrap these but it is well worth it!
