    A bite of a Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Bars

    Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Bars start with crescent rolls for an easy, low prep dessert. Not too sweet but still delicious with a cream cheese filling.

    While my mom makes amazing and complicated dishes on a regular basis, I am always on the lookout for simple recipes that I can make in my college dorm. These cinnamon sugar cheesecake bars from Buzzfeed are exactly the kind of recipe I love: easy to make, only a few ingredients, low prep time, and delicious. The crescent roll dough provides a not too bready base, but both my mom and I thought puff pastry might work as well. We were wrong, they need the texture of the crescent rolls. These bars are pretty much foolproof; ours turned out just like the picture despite a few hiccups. Pinching the crescent roll dough together to form two large sheets can be a bit challenging, as the dough is very sticky and ours stuck to the counter.  Keeping the dough cold until use will minimize this problem. However, the bars will still turn out fine even if the dough isn’t perfectly pinched.

    These bars could almost be both a breakfast and dessert, as they are not too sweet. This was our first recipe from Buzzfeed, and we will definitely have to try more of their easy but delicious recipes in the future!
