this has to be one of the worst recipes i have made in years. the base recipe was horrible and i added alot to it trying to salvage it but it didn't help much.

This recipe was not a big winner at my house, I ended up feeding most of it to the dog, she liked them.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I made mine with jumbo crescents (added more filling) because we prefer the larger size.
