raelenebull: would be very interested to know if you did freeze and how the cheese thawed. I have not had a lot of success with frozen recipes containing 1/2 the recipe as a cheese component. Thanks

I'm not quite sure. I can not see why not.
Can these be frozen?
I made these for Christmas and they were delicious, everyone loved them!
