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

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

tsp. vanilla

Enjoy serving MAXWELL HOUSE coffee with this delicious recipe.

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Unroll 1 of the cans of crescent dough. Press onto bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan to form crust, firmly pressing seams together to seal.

BEAT cream cheese, vanilla, egg and 1/2 cup of the sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spread onto crust.

UNROLL remaining can of crescent dough onto large sheet of wax paper. Pat out dough to form 13x9-inch rectangle, pressing seams together to seal. Invert over cream cheese mixture to form top crust; discard wax paper.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until golden brown. Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; sprinkle over squares before cutting.

These are good, but nothing that WOWED me. I will add something else to the cream cheese mix next time...nuts or something

Made this recipe as I really love cream cheese. I took half to work, everyone loved them and wanted the recipe. Husband wants me to make more and not share. I very seldom make baked goods semi home made but I wanted something quick to make, want to try these with some strawberry jam on top of the cheese, I also think I'll cut back on the amount of cinnamon sugar topping.

I've been using this recipe for a few years now, but with one alteration: I add an 8-oz. can of crushed pineapple to the cream cheese mixture...it is fabulous! :) To date, EVERYONE who has tried it has asked for the recipe!

My sister made this recipe for a 50th birthday party for our other sister. They were a success! Everyone bragged about how good they were. My sister said that she did not use as much sugar and cinnamon topping as it asked for, and they turned out perfect.

This recipe is easy and delicious. I used fat free cream cheese, reduced fat crescent roll dough and a sugar substitute for baking and it turned out great. My only significant change was doubling the cinnamon/sugar mixture that is sprinkled on the top of the baked bars. I did this step as soon as the bars came out of the oven so the sugar mixture would adhere better.
