Ingredients
Scale

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; set aside.
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough into the prepared baking dish, sealing seams to form an even layer.

Notes
Consider adding a chocolate drizzle for an extra touch. Allowing the bars to chill enhances flavors and texture.
