Overall, I'm happy with this recipe. It's a good starting point for making stollen, but I think there's room for improvement.

I think this recipe needs more sugar. It's not sweet enough for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stollen didn't rise very much. It's still tasty, but it's not as fluffy as I would have liked.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stollen turned out dry and crumbly. I'm disappointed, because I was really looking forward to trying it.

I'm not a huge fan of stollen, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making it again.
