Cream Cheese Crescent Bars

I first had these cream cheese bars at a Superbowl party about 5 years ago, and since then, they have been a “go to” treat for parties because they are so quick to make, and everyone loves them!

Here’s what you need:

• 2 8 oz cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 8 oz packages cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 9×13 inch pan.  Press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the prepared pan – I like to line my pans with foil because it helps to lift them out and cut them into squares.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, eggs 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Spread over the crescent layer.

Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer.  Don’t press down, and don’t worry about the seams – they will bake together.

Pour the melted butter over the entire pan.  Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is crisp and golden.

and slice!
