I made this for my husband for father's day and we loved it. The carmelizing was a little off for me too. You have to control the tempurature. Next time I make it I will take the other advice of boiling the water first. I should've read the reviews first. I might want to add cinamon and vanilla next time. The Brown sugar takes the place of maple syrup and you can sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yum! Still a good recipe.

This is absolutely the best french toast. I didnt change anything and it is great. I made this today for my family and everyone had great reviews. My husband likes his french toast very sweet and this hit the spot. This is definately a keeper in our household. Thanks for the great recipe. Lovada in Seattle.

I boiled my water before adding it to the brown sugar to prevent it from hardening, as other reviewers suggested. Other than that, it was a good recipe. Thanks

The caramelization did not work for me. It turned hard & tasted aweful. My 7 year old, who loves brown sugar, wouldn't even eat it. I will not make again. Sorry.

When I made this, nothing I did could get the caramel right. It kept coming out crunchy.

Hmm, not bad, but I like regular french toast with syrup better. I took other reviewers' advice to use boiling water, but I still don't think the caramelization was right. The sugar smelled (and tasted) kind of burnt before it even finished melting, and it still left hard pellets of sugar once I added the water. I'm not sure how long you're supposed to cook it after adding the water...I went about 2 minutes and it still hadn't melted the pellets but I was getting worried about the burnt smell. I cooked it over medium high heat (7) as the recipe recommended...maybe it needs a lower heat?? I thought it was ruined, but it still tasted ok so I guess it wasn't a total loss. But it was a lot of work for something that was quite similar to (and not quite as good as) maple syrup. Thanks anyway.

I boiled the water before adding it to the brown sugar and this was FANTASTIC!!! I halved the recipe because of the mixed reviews but there was nothing wrong with this recipe at all. I didn't find it any sweeter than french toast with syrup. I added 1/4 tsp of vanilla to the carmel sauce after it cooked and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the egg mixture. Other than that, I didn't change anything and I ended up eating all four pieces myself ( I even ate one cold and it was GREAT!!!) If your brown sugar turns hard, if you add boiling water it will eventually disolve into a delicious carmel sauce. Be patient and keep stirring...it's worth it!

Warning: This recipe will drive your dentist up the wall! But I daresay it's worth it. Also, the instructions should be revised to add those helpful tips located in some of the reviews (ie. lower heat, add boiling water to sugar for smoother finish). Mine turned more into CANDIED French Toast rather caramelized. Other than that, the french toast was wonderfully sweet.

The recipe directions should be revised. The carmelization did not happen as described. It must work for some, accoeding to the reviews, but not as written. In reading the reviews of others, I will try this recipe with hot water the next time. Otherwise, it will not be in my resipe box.

This was really good and very easy to clean up. It only took a couple minutes to make (and eat) I halfed the recipe. I found no problem with making the caramel, unlike others that reviewed it. It's a keeper.
