These triangles are delicious, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try using a lighter filling next time.

I'm not a fan of the filling in this recipe. I think I'll try using a different filling next time.

These triangles are perfect for a quick and easy snack. I always keep a batch in the freezer for when I need something to eat in a hurry.

I love that this recipe uses puff pastry dough. It makes the triangles so light and flaky.

These triangles are so versatile. You can fill them with anything you like. I've tried them with Nutella, cream cheese, and even leftover chicken.

The triangles didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll bake them for a few minutes longer next time.

These triangles were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I used a store-bought puff pastry dough and the triangles turned out great. They were just as good as the ones I've made from scratch.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out perfect. The triangles are crispy on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside.
