I'm BAAACK

Holy Cow..  It's been awhile!

So after life craziness and a trip to mexico.. I am finally home and getting into the Christmas Spirit.  Today we are having an office ornament exchange.  For my delicious plate of food I brought in some Crescent Roll Cream Cheese Bars.  They are delicious and made even better by the addition of vanilla, bananas and honey...  Some of my favorite flavors of all time...

Here is the original recipe from Pillsbury   MY changes are in green.

INGREDIENTS

 final goooooey goodness...

Just had to show you my Mexican honey..  You know it's good when they caught a bee inside... Yum..

 

 

I'm a chunky monkey.. So why not eat one?

Had the oppourtunity to go to a friends house this week to say goodbye to her daughter and son in law who are going to Kuwait.
I wanted to make a quick and yummy treat and this is what we ended up with. This is really a no measure snack. You make it to your taste.

I started with a bowl containing 2 sticks of cream cheese softened and added some honey peanut butter ( add as much or as little as you would like. )  Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla  Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to start with and continue adding until the desired sweetness is reached.

So these little rolled goodies are made with crescent rolls.  Separate each triangle from your tube and stretch them a little.  In the center of the large end of the triangle add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture, 3 chocolate chips and 2 slices of banana.

Roll them up and pinch all of the corners and openings.  Be careful not to overfill!
Once they are all rolled up sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and cook until golden brown.

They went fast.... and none of us waited to eat them so we ended up with burnt tongues..   They aren't the most beautiful dessert but they taste delicious...    Enjoy!
