Sweet Treat

Sunday evening, I went to a small Super Bowl gathering with some dear friends and they asked me to bring something sweet.  I had a busy week and needed it to be a simple, yet yummy dessert!  My friend, Amanda had made these Easy Sopapillas before so I knew they were delicious so I decided to give them a try!  Friends, I can't tell you how yummy these are!  Anything that has crescent rolls and cream cheese must be a hit, right?

These would be a perfect addition to a dinner party, dessert night with friends or just for a treat a week night dinner!  And they are easy!  So gather up the ingredients and make some!  You won't be disappointed!

Easy Sopapilla Bars

Ingredients:

2 ( 8 ounce) cans Pillsbury butter flake crescent rolls ( I used the grocery store brand)
2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups of white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2.  Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.  Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing perforations.

3.  In a small bowl blend the  cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and the vanilla.  Spread evenly over the top of the crescent roll dough.

4.  Unroll the 2nd can of crescent rolls onto a sheet of saran wrap and press perforations together.  Transfer to the baking dish, placing it on top of the cream cheese mixture.

5.  Pour the melted butter on top of the crescent rolls.

6.  In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon.  Sprinkle over the melted butter.

7.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and bottom crust is slightly browned.

8.  Let it cool and store in the refrigerator.  Cut into bars and serve.


Enjoy friends!
