These mocha cream puffs are way too expensive. I could buy a whole cake for the same price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cream puffs didn't turn out right. They were flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was a bit disappointed with these mocha cream puffs. The choux pastry was a bit dry and the mocha cream filling was too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed these mocha cream puffs. The chocolate flavor is strong enough to balance out the coffee flavor.
