These almond crescents were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I was so excited to try these almond crescents, but I was disappointed with the results. The pastry was dry and crumbly, and the almond filling was too sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
