Regarding calorie count: they do make low fat or non-fat cream cheese, as well as the low fat crescent rolls and you can use the preserved fruit or a low sugar version of strawberry preserves.

For those of you complaining about the calorie and fat content of the recipe, did it ever occur to you to possibly use this as a branching off point? I wouldn't touch a fruit roll up with a 39½ foot pole, but fresh fruit would be amazing in this. If you don't like the recipe as it's printed, then find another one.

I can't believe that people are complaining about how unhealthy these are! It touts itself as a pastry people! How often are they healthy? Seriously! I can't wait to try it, but i think i'm using jam/preserves instead of the fruit roll ups!
