31 Days: Chocolate Cream Cheese Crescents



Welcome to Day 18 of 31 Days of Baking as part of Write31Days October challenge.

What the heck? Today is the 18th, already? How and why did that happen? Too fast.

Yesterday was fantastic fun with Dewey's 24 Hr. Readathon. Thanks to the wonderful hosts Andi and Michelle! You rocked it out ladies! I finished ???? books.

What I changed:

I only made have of the filling and it filled 6 rolls. Instead of macadamia nuts, I used pecans.

My Thoughts:
