(More customer reviews)If you want something cute to put in your kitchen, get it.

If you actually want to make candy, forget about it. Her recipes are way too short to explain the steps that goes into candy making. Candy making is incredibly precise - her book does not do it justice. This book doesn't give enough specificity in the directions for a person who does not have ESP to figure it out. I've tried several recipes from this book and they have all failed spectacularly.
