    Pillsbury now has crescent dough sheets. This would work well with recipe and lots of others using the rolls.

    I’ve made these several times and love them! The only suggestion I have is that the cheese is a bit overwhelming so I use half what it calls for and it’s just right. Also, I wouldn’t just save these for a holiday… they’re good any time!

    I have made these for years. I use one half teaspoon of lemon juice in my Cream Cheese. I roll out my dough into one large rectangle spread the cheese and bring both long sides to the middle and slice into 10 or 12 strips

    With the chive cream cheese and bacon, might want to add just a bit of maple syrup. Either to the cream cheese or as a drizzle to compliment the bacon.

    You can substitute blueberry, Apple and cherry pie filling for the cream cheese or half cream cheese half pie filling. Yummy!

      Jim, TB is abbreviated for tablespoon. You will oftentimes see TB and tb. The tb would be teaspoon.

        February 13, 2018

        Laurie, tb would still be TaBlespoon, not Teaspoon. Usually tsp = teaspoon and tbsp = tablespoon whether in upper case or lower case. Your post above may have been a typo. 🙂

    I make this a lot in a baking dish. Place one can of the crescents in the bottom. Add the filling (I also add 1 egg) and then add another sheet of crescents on top and bake. It’s delicious! I might try like this because they are so pretty for Christmas morning after I get home from work 🙂

      I added apple pie filling on top of the cream cheese filling on one pan and on the second pan I added cherry pie filling (made my own apple and cherry pie filling but canned will work too) fantastic everyone like it better than with just cream cheese filling
