Authentic Gourmet (18) Italian Custard Filled Puff Pastries

Received my order today. Not sure why the last 2 food things I ordered arrived open but this one wasn't a big deal, just a surprise it happened again. The outer bag was open and one of the pastry bags open. Don't just toss it in the freezer it might get freezer burnt quicker. I food saver'd (for lack of a better term) them like I do with the croissants & pot stickers. 

Taste - well yum!!! The pastry is nice and buttery and satisfies my baked goods addiction.  Someone said it's not true custard. I don't really care. It tastes good and I'm gonna eat another one for dessert. It baked up nicely. I've never had a croissant fail so I can't compare to any bad experiences anyone had. 

Hope everyone else enjoys them like I did.

The products I've purchased from that brand have always been very good.

 

My favorites were the croissants that were filled - I got the ones that had half the croissants filled with raspberry and the other half were lemon.  Soooo good!  

 

I ordered them on AD but they cancelled and stopped selling them after a few shipments.

 

Of course, I vacuum sealed them and still have a few left.  Wish they still sold those.

@KkinCA if the outer & inner bag was open I would have called QVC customer service for a replacement .... I would never have eaten anything from that delivery ... how do you know who opened it & why it was opened ... there are too many crazy people around who don't care what happens to other people ... besides they charge you enough for the item so you should get top quality for your money!!
