Check out the ingredients. I think you'd be better off going to a local bakery that makes them on site.

ITA and they are manufactured in a facility that processes soybeans. Many people are allergic and I don't like that it's in tiny print of a pdf many people won't open.

People with severe allergies are generally thorough when they buy products.

I have been on AD for both the regular size and the fancy filled ones. We absolutely love them. Make for every big family get-together. Obviously eaten in moderation!!

So easy to make and CHEAPER than both my local bakery and the grocery store w/ a bakery. I can make them fresh, just a couple at a time. No sitting out overnight...just in the oven they go.

Perfect every time. Since my AD just ended on both of the others, I am looking forward to getting this smaller size.

Well that's true, I have severe peanut allergy, so I know. Just thinking the ingredients should be prominently displayed, not in a pdf.

The prices are reasonable to me. A couple of co-workers love them. So, I ordered the 72 piece as an Easter present for my in-laws. My mil makes jellies, perserves, apple butter. So, I'm sure this is a present they will both enjoy.

I would consider them if I knew the fat and carbs. No matter what, I am sure they are not that healthy for you, but I'm sure they taste good. Hubby is doing so good with his weight loss I don't want to tempt him.

From the nutrition label:

270 calories

16 g fat

26 g carbs

24 g sugar

2 g fiber

6 g protein

Eeps.....1/2 of the croissant is fat. Gross. I would think you could make something like that in your own kitchen. Don't get the "TV shopping" food bit.

I've been wanting to try these. Got the early email and ordered. Love croissants. They are 82 cents a piece, less than the local bakery. Won't eat them every day, but will enjoy from time to time.

I actually thought it was a pretty good price, too, but what in the world would I do with 72 croissants other than get fat??

We don't eat them often enough to justify purchasing 72 or even 36 of them. I would rather just buy them at the bakery once or twice a year and consider them a treat rather than an every day thing.

Are these the ones that are made in France and then shipped here? I wonder why they can't be made here. That must add immeasurably to their cost. Is French butter that much better than American?

That was the thing for me. That's why the ones I got last year I ended up vacuum sealing so that they will stay pristine. The unfilled ones are flat, so they vac seal really well. It's been ages and I still have at least 90% of them.

But, back then they didn't sell them in such large lots. They were 26 to a bag I believe. Even that is practically a lifetime supply. I would definitely not want 72 of them.

If I didn't have to lose weight, I would order the 72 count which is a pretty good deal. At first I thought it was way too expensive and didn't realize they were frozen. I had just noticed that croissants were the TSV and QVC's food is usually super expensive.

I may consider these next time closer to the holidays!!

If you get the larger size, you're paying only 82 cents per croissant. Do you really think that is pricey? If so, please tell me where you can get them cheaper!
