Ingredients
  

For the Bars:
  • 16 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (2- 8 ounce packages)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened, 2 blocks)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (I used Hershey's)

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Roll Base - Open the packages of refrigerated crescent rolls. Unroll one package and lay it flat in the bottom of your greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Press the seams together to create a solid base.
  3. Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling - In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of white sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Layer the Filling - Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crescent roll base in the baking dish.
  5. Step 5: Top with Remaining Crescent Rolls - Unroll the second package of crescent rolls and lay it on top of the cheesecake filling. Press the seams together to create a uniform layer.
  6. Step 6: Brush with Butter - Drizzle the melted butter over the top layer of crescent rolls.
  7. Step 7: Create the Cinnamon Sugar Topping - In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the melted butter.
  8. Step 8: Bake - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  9. Step 9: Cool and Drizzle - Allow the bars to cool for at least 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top before slicing into squares.
