Cream Cheese & Chocolate Crossiant

Ingredients:
- 2 pkgs of crescent rolls
- 1 8oz. pkg cream cheese
- 3 Tbs honey (or more according to taste)
- 2 Tbs ground cinnamon
- Chocolate syrup
Directions:
  • Pre heat oven according to package directions (usually 350 degrees)
  • Bring cream cheese to room temperature (so it's soft and easy to mix) and add to mixing bowl.
  • Mix in honey until the cream cheese has a sweet taste... but not too sweet. Set aside.
  • Open crescent package and lay out the dough triangles.
  • In the center of each triangle put a spoonfull of cream cheese mixture. (on't go overboard or it won't stay in the dough when cooked)
  • Roll the crescent according to package directions (start at pointy end and roll toward the top) to make the crossiant shape.
  • Add each full crescent to a cookie sheet.
  • When the cookie sheet is full, sprinke the cinnamon over the tops of all the crescents. Bake according to package directions. (usually 350 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes).
  • When they are golden-brown take out of oven to let cool.
  • Take out your plates and squirt the chocolate syrup over the plate in a zig zag fashion. (see photo).
  • Place pastry on top of chocolate covered plate and serve immediately.
Be careful... filling is pretty hot!
***Review:
This dessert is awesome! It is easy, looks great and tastes great! You really can't beat that! I think this is by far one of the easiest desserts to make... but it looks fancy. Which is perfect, because I love my food to look great too!
**Tips:
I will estimate that this dessert takes 20 minutes to make... including cooking time.
This dessert is best served hot/warm. So I usually get all the ingredients ready and then make them just before we are ready to eat them.
Another thing you can try is to add a few chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling before baking....
Let me know if you love these as much as we do!
