Tasted really good and a little different from most glazed carrots with all the Ranch seasonings. I did cut the glaze ingredients in half (1/4 c. butter and brown sugar and only one packet of Ranch) as others suggested and it coated all the carrots very well. My husband really enjoyed them and asked that I make them again.

Ahhh!!! I'm stuffing my mouth as I type (happy Easter, everyone! I gave up BUTTER for Lent. ) It's got a LOT of glaze, but so tasty!

These were very tasty. I read the reviews before making these and made half the amount of glaze as suggested by many. It was the perfect amount of glaze.

Made these for thanksgiving & I really liked them. It was nice to have something other than plain old carrots. I did like the other reviews said & used only 1 envelope of ranch & only used 1/4 c. of brown sugar & butter. My family liked them as well!

You will be surprised at how good this simple dish tastes!! The first time I made as directed. My suggestion, take all the other reviews suggestion of half the glaze. It makes a lot. Simply cutting back on the glaze makes this the perfect side dish anytime of the year. Teenagers and adults alike enjoyed this unique taste.

Great taste, just too much glaze, used half of glaze ingredients and had 1/2c left in bowl.
