I tripled this recipe! It is so good. I bought some crescent rolls on sale and needed to use them up before they expire. I really liked that the filling wasn't just melted chocolate chips like the other recipes. I found the recipe easy to follow and the result was fantastic. THANK YOU!

WOW! sooo tasty! They reminded me of the croissants I used to get when I lived in germany! They were so perfect as is that I didn't even make the glaze! I also did some with almonds..YUM!

Coming from a *choco-holic* these were very yummy! I served them as a dessert because I just felt they were too sweet for breakfast. They would be great served at a tea or luncheon too. I like using chopped almonds instead of the pecans.
