I have been making this dish for some time now and it is definitely one of my go-to recipes. I used to carry a copy of the recipe with me whenever I took the dish somewhere because someone always wants the recipe. Now I can write it down from memory. The only differences in my recipe is I add an egg to the cream cheese mixture, it seems to make it fluffier. And I add about 1 cup of chopped pecans to the sugar and cinnamon mixture. This just takes it over the top.

I made this with the new crescent rolls that don't have any perferations...and used low fat cream cheese and splenda for the diabetics in our family...I did spread alittle nutella on the bottom before putting on the cream cheese mixture...everything goes better with a little chocolate!
