I didn't have any trouble shaping these but the filling seemed to come right out of them and made quite a mess... They were still tasty though:)

Delicious, fast and simple! I agree with the other rater about having trouble shaping them and ended up doing my own thing! I didn't put the glaze on because hubby doesn't care for it and I used a dark pan and forgot to grease it but they came out perfect. They have been out of the oven only 30 minutes and hubby has eaten half of them already! Better get one while there are some left!

This recipe is very tasty. However, I found that the crescent dough got soft very quickly and that made if hard to manipulate it into the twists. I made two batches and with the second one I put the dough in the freezer for ten minutes before I put the rectangles together and it held together better. I cut mine in half to serve since some of the first batch came out not looking like the picture.

Really yummy! I took me longer than the 20 minutes mentioned though; closer to 30, maybe even 35. Then again, perhaps I'm just slow!

These tasted great but I had trouble shaping them. What can I say? I'm a klutz! :)
