I absolutely loved them!! 😃 Personally, I would add less cream cheese and more strawberries because it can get overpowering. Make sure they are super frozen, bread, freeze for at least 2 hrs and then fry. Do not leave them in the fryer for very long. You will end up otherwise with a sticky mess that’s not fun to clean up. Still super fun and tasty 😋!!

This was horrible. All I could taste is the cream cheese, not even a bit of the strawberry. After frying, the whole thing had this oily, greasy taste and texture that just ruined it. ☹️
