So I happen to stumble upon this recipe of Cream Cheese Bacon Crescents from Kraftrecipes.com about a year ago and it has all of my absolute favorite things to eat. These are fantastic for holiday family gatherings as appetizers or even Super Bowl. It has everything that everyone loves especially bacon. This probably sounds terribly bad but I do not prefer to mix bacon in any of my food except for these crescents. Cream Cheese Bacon Crescents are definitely that food that you can't have just one.

This recipe is incredibly easy and especially fast to make which is great for me and those of you out there that like to make something that's simple, quick, and not that many ingredients.

The recipe entails:
- 1 container Philadelphia Chive & Onion Cream Cheese (8 ounce)
- 3 slices Oscar Mayer bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (I like to use Pillsbury)

To start off you need to preheat the oven to 375 degrees. While that's getting hot, combine your Philadelphia Chive & Onion Cream Cheese and crumbled Oscar Mayer bacon into one big bowl and make sure everything is mix up well.

Next you can lay out the sheet of crescent rolls and cut each triangle in half making one into two triangles. Now that you have your triangles, scoop about a heaving teaspoon of the combined cream cheese and bacon and place in the middle of each triangle. The recipe will tell you to spread it throughout the triangle and then roll the triangle from the shortest side in, but I like to put a glob of the cream cheese mixture in the middle of the triangle and then take each end and bunch the dough together making it into a ball full of cream cheese and bacon. Place all of the cream cheese and bacon crescent balls on a greased baking sheet.

Once you have all of your crescents finished and on a greased baking sheet your oven should be hot enough at 375 degrees. Put them in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or when they're golden brown.

Like I said, this is a kind of food that you can't just have one so normally I like to double the recipe when getting together with family and friends. These Cream Cheese-Bacon Crescents are excellent as appetizers for the holidays that are approaching and especially for those football Sundays that many people enjoy and like to have a little finger food to snack from. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
