Pillsbury says:Bite-sized pastries stuffed with chicken in a buffalo style sauce.

Chavi says: The fact that these tiny little pastry bites are a “Product of Canada,” which is emblazoned across the box’s front, should be enough for a five-star issuing. But it took some taste-testing with a partner to really experience and evaluate this fairly new frozen food item. Sitting down to a Patriots game, we partook of this perfect snack-size food amid chips and salsa and chicken wings, and it definitely did stand out as something uniquely delicious.

The cooking time seems to be a little off, or it could have been that my boyfriend put them too close on the cooking sheet, but it took quite a long time for them to get crispy and brown on top. The dough around the innards of the bites was soft and delicious, and the insides — the buffalo chicken goodness — weren’t too spicy hot, but definitely just hit the spot. It might be too spicy for those who simply can’t handle a bit o’ spice, but those same people would probably be better suited to buy one of the other flavors: Cheese and Spinach or Mozzarella and Pepperoni. I anticipate more flavors in the future considering they’re perfect little snack-size bites.

But maybe that’s the downfall — they are so small, and a box has merely 12 little bites. I could easily eat the entire box in one sitting as a meal, but that’d be a whopping 15 points on the Weight Watchers scale. We split the box in two and paired the bites with a bunch of other food, and it worked out. But for the price and the size, I’m guessing these items will only be the kind to be purchased during a gnarly sale.

I have several coupons I plan to use on them in the near future (before they up and expire) I hope I can find this flavor. but the spinach looks pretty delish too.
