Mardi Gras King Cake Bites

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 1 pkg cream cheese, room tempature
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl for your mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Next, open the cans of crescent roll dough and separate the dough along the perforated lines. Then take one triangle at a time and roll the dough into a ball, separate each ball into two and flatten each ball into a circle.
  • Sprinkle each circle of dough with cinnamon and then top with about 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture.
  • To close each circle, stretch the dough over and around the cream cheese mixture and pinch to close. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet seam side down.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Let the dough cool completely before glazing so that it does not roll off.
  • To make the glaze, combine in a small bowl powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Then dip the top of each ball into the glaze and then top with sprinkles.
