I dust the top with powdered sugar in place of cinnamon and sugar. My family loves this treat.

Went to a party 2 yrs ago and tried these awesome squares before I saw these on this website and had to have the recipe! Since then, I've made them more times than I can count, and they are always a huge hit, and the recipe is always requested. I do usually cut back on the cinnamon though. Delicious!

This is a lite dessert that is just right to take care of that sweet tooth after dinner with coffee. I have made it 4 times and enjoy it very much.

This receipe is wonderful. I did make a few changes to it and it truley is awsome. Instead of 8 oz. pkg of cresent rolls, I used the 10.5 oz and It does raise the dough to look like the picture. Also instead of regular cream cheese, I choose Blueberry Philadelphia cream cheese. After the cream cheese mixture is spread on the bottom layer of dough, I took about 2 cups of frozen Blueberry's and sprinkled them on the cream cheese, then topped with second layer of dough. After the bars are baked and while still hot, I spread melted butter on the top and then topped with the sugar cinnamon mixture. This would also be wonderful with Strawberry Crema cheese and sliced strawberry's Enjoy!!!

I do agree the photo makes it look like the crescent rolls form some thick layer and that is not the case, but I'm willing to forgive that because THESE ARE VERY GOOD!!! YUM! A great, quick recipe if you need something to bring to work, a meeting, etc. My only comment is that I thought the 2 pkgs of cream cheese was excessive - you could get away with just using 1 or 1.5 at the most. The layer of cream cheese using two pkgs is too thick. AN EXCELLENT, EASY RECIPE!!

Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed with this recipe. I made it with low fat cream cheese, and low fat crescent rolls. The squares weren't as puffy as the picture shows, and after being refrigerated, they just seemed to be flat and mushy.
