Join the discussionI had major issues with this recipe. The proportions for the filling are all wrong. If you only do 1 tbsp of filling per pocket you’ll end up with a ton of leftover filling; the math doesn’t add up. Also, how is this a dinner? One pocket is way too small of a portion. Recipe should either be classified as an appetizer or increase the portions to make it a dinner portion.
Hi Miriam, we have updated the recipe. It seems more filling needs to be added so the portion is heartier within the crescent roll. Thank you.
