I liked the taste, but I'm not sure if I would make them again. I wasn't crazy about the texture of the filling, but that is just a personal preference. Please make them yourself and form your own opinion :) I don't think they tasted at all like a danish. Also, there was too much filling that popped open the bread during baking, as you can see in the photos. Made for Newest Zaar Stars Tag Game. Linda
