Excellent! I made a 50-50 mix of softened cream cheese and light sour cream (hubby doesn't think he likes sour cream). I also sprinkled a little parmesan cheese over the filling before I rolled them up, and used lots of pepper mixed with the sauteed mushrooms. For me, it did require more butter than recipe calls for because I like my onions to get really soft and translucent. I halved the recipe and it was quite tasty and filling; 4 stuffed crescents total, easily enough for 2 of us for a lighter, comfort food dinner. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks, Sugar Rush!
