Since it is just Andy and I, I did make some adjustments to the recipe. First off, him and I are big mint fans, so I nixed the peppermint. Second, there no way the two of us would've been able to eat the whole ring, and I didn't want it to go to waist, so I decided to just make individual cream puffs. And third, seeing as how I live in freakin' New Mexico, which at 9:00 in the morning is already in the upper 80's expected to reach 97 degrees by 2:00pm, I opted for vanilla ice cream instead of the cream.
The moment my mouth was filled with the creamy, slightly crunchy, caramely goodness, I about died, and then asked myself why had I never made these little goodies before? I hate when you think something is going to be really difficult to make, so you put it off and put it off, then you make it, and you kick yourself for letting all those days go by, that could've been filled with cream puffs.
The only downside is that since they're so easy to make, I'll probably be making them often, and starting to see my tummy begin to grow :( But...what can you do!

Where in NM do you live? I grew up in Albuquerque, and my parents and sister still live there. I miss it, even the 97 degree days. It's a dry heat, right? :)
Those look too cute! Glad to hear your family is doing well.
They look yummy, and of course, with that kind of heat you need ice cream for sure. Hope everyone is on the mend. They will be smiling with treats like those around. Nice job!
yum, those look so delicious, esp w/the ice cream!
glad your family is better now
Yum--the ice cream looks like a fabulous substitution. It's been way too hot around here, too (central Texas).
Welcome back. I'd happily take some of your heat as we have been getting nothing but cold, rain and thunderstorms. Not fun.
These look fabulous! I love caramel sauce.
Stuffed with ice cream and drizzled in caramel... what a great way to end a hot summer day *and* find a new go-to recipe. Great job! (and I'm glad you're back and everyone's feeling better).
