These turned out fairly well. BEWARE - 3oz. is not a full cream cheese log! I didn't pay attention and for another recipe used the whole package then had to triple recipe to make it right! The topping is not very sweet and I think that is meant to be. I also used apricot/pineapple jam which worked really well. Too much work though...Make a sugar cookie, put some jam and whipped cream on it and eat it! Same thing...
