Cannelles De Bordeaux



  • Price: $4.99
  • Servings: 6
  • Preparation: Thaw for 20 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds
  • Storage: Keep frozen
  • Taste: Well, to be honest, they didn't taste "bad", but the consistency of the caramel outside was like eating a wax ring. I didn't care for the feeling of eating something plastic. Inside the caramel cakey coating is supposed to be custard, according to the box. That part tasted like a very light vanilla sweetness, but not much of it. The burned caramel wax flavor overpowered the light quality of the vanilla inside. The box I bought also contained mostly dark browned pieces, which on the box were a very pale gold. Maybe we just got a bad box. Probably won't chance that again.
  • Kid Friendliness: They were willing to try it, since it was dessert. Would rather have had a scoop of ice cream.
  • Real Cooking time: None, we liked the non-heated flavor better.
  • Overall: Don't bother unless you are feeling adventuress and have an extra 5 bucks to spend.
