Cheese Bars


This is a recipe that I got from a friends mother. She made these for our Christmas bowling party (yes we bowl on a league). They are simple and really yummy. I would suggest keeping them in the fridge. When they sit out the cream cheese filling gets a little too soft.



Cheese Bars


2 Tubes of crescent rolls
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg yolk
cinnamon + sugar for dusting



Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg yolk until smooth and creamy. Set aside. In a 9x13 baking pan, spread one roll of crescent onto bottom of pan (forming the crust). Next, spread cream cheese mixture on top of crescent crust. Lastly spread the second roll of crescent on top of cream cheese filling. Dust with cinnamon sugar mixture Bake in a 350* oven for about 25 minutes. Refrigerate before cutting.
