I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The éclairs were delicious and not as difficult to make as I thought they would be. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my éclairs didn't turn out as expected. The pastry was a bit too dry, and the filling was a bit too runny. I'll have to try this recipe again soon and see if I can get it right.

These éclairs were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using a different filling next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my éclairs turned out a complete disaster. The pastry was too dry, the filling was too runny, and the chocolate glaze was too thick. I'm going to have to try this recipe again soon and see if I can get it right.

These éclairs were a bit disappointing. The pastry was a bit too chewy, and the filling was a bit too bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These éclairs were almost perfect. The pastry was light and airy, and the filling was rich and creamy. However, the chocolate glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll use a different glaze.
