Difficult to hold together. Would not stay on the stick during dipping and after completion the caramel did not stay on the cake balls. I will not make this again.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"10\/25\/2011 22:44","GUID":"65d3fdb6b6544a69ab7312a4c632e94b","MemberId":6300401,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"fourtangle","SubmittedDate":"10\/25\/2011 22:44"},{"Comment":"

This recipe was a lot more work than I expected, and in the end I was not impressed with the taste, texture, or their ability to hold together. They kept falling apart and off of the stick. Trying to keep them frozen enough so I could dip them was a challenge in its own right and it took me nearly 3 hours just to dip them in caramel because I kept having to wait for them to re-freeze. Ugh! I've never been so frustrated by a recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"09\/29\/2011 14:47","GUID":"938cfa3757804a77ad762a21b71da683","MemberId":6212688,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"emmyg37","SubmittedDate":"09\/29\/2011 14:47"},{"Comment":"
