Recipe Type - Dessert
Serving(s) - 3-5 people

Prep Time - Not that long!
Dietary Restrictions - See ingredients, but does contain dairy, sugar, and gluten
Ingredients:
- 2 – 8 oz. crescent roll tubes (seamless)
- 1 1/2 – 8 oz. cream cheese packages, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- soft butter
- brown sugar, cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until you have a smooth, even mix.
- Unroll one tube of crescent dough and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Push edges up to a nice rectangle.
- Spread cream cheese mix gently over dough, up to edges and corners.
- Unroll second crescent dough and place on top, seal outer edges by pinching dough rolls together on exterior perimeter (stretch to fit).
- Spread soft butter on top evenly -a thin film, then smooth a light layer of brown sugar on top (I take a handful and smooth it with my fingers to the edges). Spritz cinnamon over it all.
- Bake until edges are golden brown.
- Optional-drizzle honey on top if desired (I personally find this too sweet, but it is in the original recipe).
- Cut into bars after cooling slightly. Serve warm or cool. If kept overnight, make sure to refrigerate.
- Enjoy!
