CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE BARS
The cinnamon-sugar topping on Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bars reminds me of an elephant ear or churros. These dessert bars are much easier to make at home and have a layer of cream cheese for extra goodness!

2 packages crescent rolls
Filling
2 - 8 oz packages of cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Topping
1 stick butter
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 350F. Spread one package of crescent roll dough across an ungreased 9 x 13 pan.
Beat two packages of cream cheese with one cup of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla. Spread mixture over rolls.
Spread out second package of crescent rolls and lay on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Melt butter and spread evenly over the top.
Mix cinnamon and 1/4 cup of sugar and sprinkle over top.
Bake at 350F for 25 - 30 minutes until lightly browned.
Cool completely before cutting. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store extras in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Let cream cheese soften so it's easier to mix and spread
Sheets of crescent dough
When pouring butter over the top be sure it's spread evenly, we use a basting brush to spread the melted butter around
Ensure there are no pools of butter, keep spreading it out if butter puddles exist - this will make a more uniform looking top crust
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture with your fingers evenly across the melted butter
Store extras in the refrigerator
