    This was so good, I made it 3 times in one week!!! I did cut back on the sugar and added more lime juice. It actually takes way more butter than noted to cream the sugar. After those few tweaks, it was perfect!!! I’ll definitely be making this often!!

    Not too sweet. Lovely for breakfast with coffee.

    Very simple and tasty. Based on previous comments I reduced the sugar. Also noted that it took MUCH longer to cook. I suspect either the temperature or the time are written incorrectly. After 30 minutes at 300 I increased to 325 for an additional 15.

    This was easy and turned out great! I skipped the peanuts since I didn't have any, and I tripled the recipe and used 1/3 cup bottled lime juice, since I didn't have fresh limes.
