Wondering if product has been changed
I made Minute Tapioca following directions on the box as I always do and I used whole milk. I’ve been using this product for many years, just as my mother did. But this time it did not set up, even after cooling and refrigerating.
Thank you fo carrying this!
This product has been remarkably difficult to find for about a year. I really appreciate that Target had it available. Thank you!
What else could i make
I really liked the product for pudding. But tapioca “pearls” in specific are hard to find and I’m wondering if i can make boba with this or not because I haven’t really seen anything.
Great product
Best product for using as pudding mix as well as a multitude of baking applications.
