This looks yummy, but I was wondering if it would work using the canned biscuits instead of the frozen ones? Also, I'm thinking of using canned pie filling rather than the preserves. Any thoughts on these substitutions?

To Maian8...I did these with reduced fat Grands and 1/3 fat cream cheese. Used sugar free preserves. They are still delicious and nowhere near the fat that the original recipe is. Going to try this with cream cheese and chocolate. Yummmm....This recipe can be played with alot :)

Too much fat in this recipe to bother with only making 2. If I know my husband, he would be able to eat 4 of these himself and I wouldn't want him to eat that much fat. If it dripped over like the other reviewer said I would put the muffin tin on a cookie sheet to avoid the mess.

We do not seem to have the frozen biscuits here in rural Ontario. Do they have them in Ontario, Canada at all?
