  1. These were delicious and make SUCH a gorgeous dessert!!! I made them for a baby shower, and they were long gone while the other desserts just languished on the table. I melted some chocolate chips and drizzled them over the top, too. I did only use about half of the filling, but it's pretty good on it's own. =)
     
  2. I really liked these but my kids and some of my guests didn't. My kids didn't like the actual puffs (not sweet enough) and they didn't like the cream cheese in the filling - would have preferred just whipping cream. However, I thought they were good - I dribbled melted chocolate over top too. Can never have enough chocolate! I also learned that you need to cook them long enough and not take them out to early - they sink otherwise and are too soft.
     
  3. Made 'em for valentine's day and it was a big hit! Like moxie said I also did only use about half of the filling. But they were really delicious! Thanks for sharing!
