But, back to the puff pastry. Definitely seek out the Dufour brand of puff pastry if you can. It's made with all butter and is superior to Pepperidge Farms brand in so many ways. Most of all because you don't get that weird coating in your mouth after you eat it.
As for the cheese straws themselves . . . I admit that I struggled a bit with shaping them. I thought the directions cut them a bit thin. So, I made them shorter and fatter. I ended up with about 30 cheese straws total. The cayenne pepper flavor was the most popular. It was nice to have something with a bit of kick to it. So, thanks Pru for a great Memorial Monday pick!

Looks really delicious. Nice presentation with the basket and the homemade napkin. Weather was wonderful this Memorial Day weekend, wasn't it?
I can't find Dufour around here so I was stuck with Pepperidge Farms. I didn't make the cayenne - only poppy seed and cheese.
I am so pleased you enjoyed them. You are right though, they are too thin if you stick with the instructions. I am making mine shorter and thinner when I make them next time. Love the napkin!
