"Found this recipe in a Pillsbury Appetizer and Dessert Cookbook. Made 2 of them for a birthday brunch party and everyone raved about them and thought I slaved all day over them....Easy and look wonderful. I used the Pillsbury Crescent recipe creactions seamless dough sheets, but you can use the regular crescents just press perforations to seal."
