CREAM CHEESE PUFFS

I HAVE MADE THESE DELICIOUS GEMS SO MANY TIMES THAT I CAN MAKE THEM WITH MY EYES CLOSED. THEY ARE GREAT WITH A CUP OF TEA OR COFFEE.

Final Comments


I HAVE MADE THEM WITH A TEASPOON OF APRICOT PRESERVES AND CREAM CHEESE, WHICH WAS WONDERFUL. YOU CAN USE ANY FRUIT PRESERVES WITH THE CREAM CHEESE. EITHER WAY YOU MAKE THEM, YOU WILL ENJOY THEM. IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN SPRINKLE SOME CRUMBLED UP TOASTED SLICED ALMONDS ON TOP JUST BEFORE BAKING.

ENJOY!
