Cream Cheese Crescent Squares

**This is what I've affectionately termed the "inverse of Cinnabon." It is a glorification of their cream cheese icing.

2 Cans Crescent Rolls
1 (12 0z.) container cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tsp-tbsp. vanilla flavoring (depending on how much you like personally)
1 cup (1 Stick) Melted Margarine (this is a TON of butter, so I usually do about 1/2)

Cinnamon and sugar for the top (about 1 cup sugar and enough cinnamon to make the mixture look like sand)

Spray brownie pan (9 X 13) with cooking spray. Spread one can crescent rolls in bottom. (If the crescent triangles are splitting apart, dip your fingers in water and just pinch them back together.) Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in separate bowl. Spread onto rolls in pan. Spread other can of rolls on top of cream cheese mixture. Pour melted margarine on top and sprinkle with mixed cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool and cut into squares.

Oooo! I forgot you tried them with me! Just remember- the butter is super rich and so I've started cutting it down. Love you!
