I would give 5 stars plus but I changed the recipe a bit LOL I used chicken finely chopped instead of alligator. Plus when I went to get creamed corn I was out UGH so I kind of made my own using regular canned corn and heavy cream whirled in the food processor ( I actually liked the flavour of this better LOL) But other then that made as stated but cut the recipe in half. These were so delicious . We like them drizzled with honey. I served them with recipe#373266#373266 and recipe#177849#177849. Made for ZWT 5 Cajun region for team ZAAR CHOW HOUNDS
