What kind of puff pastry did you use? Are these the frozen sheets that come folded in thirds? Or are they the canned sheets of crescent roll dough? This sounds yummy!

Hi Chris, I actually use a brand called Jus-Rol which you can find in the refrigerator section at your local grocery store. I like it because it's not frozen and it's better quality than crescent roll dough. All you have to do is open the package and unroll it - no thawing, no rolling pin, super easy 🙂
