2 DANISH ALMOND PUFFS image

I have been making this delicious Danish treat since the early 60's! I received this recipe from a close friend when I lived in Racine, Wisc. I always have extra recipe copies ready for my friends after they taste this in my home. Great for coffee clutches, or a breakfast treat for over-night company! I usually put frosting...
