I really enjoyed these; DH, not so much...honey is not his favorite. I used RF crescents, as that is what I had on hand. I also used star thistle honey, that I received as a gift. After they were baked, I heated the honey a bit, added the cinnamon and brushed the mixture over the tops. I will be making these again! Thanks, KelBel, for a great breakfast idea! (Sorry; I apparently forgot the star rating...this has been corrected!)

EXCELLENT!!!! these are too easy to be this good!!! I didn't have nuts but it did not matter.....they were wonderful without them.... I made a double batch and took a plate to my elderly neighbor and her husband.. then another plate to my other elderly neighbor lsdy.. they are all in their mid to late 80s... were they ever happy.... a nice thing to make if you have a friend drop in unexpectantly... very fast very easy very very good...glad I saw Hadice's review this a.m. they are truly terrific

DH called these 'bites of heaven!' Light and just the right amount of sweetness. I added cinnamon and almonds to the cream cheese as well as the top. Pillsbury makes 'Recipe Creations' crescent dough which let you choose the shape of your roll, a fun change from regular crescents. Yum! A nice dessert when you just need a hint of sweet. Best served with a cold glass of milk!

This was the perfect recipe to use up some things in my fridge (half a block of light cream cheese and a tube of reduced fat crescents). Definitely need to let them cool just a bit before chowing down or the hot cream cheese will burn your tongue (ouch!) I didn't have any almonds, but truthfully, didn't miss them. Will certainly make these again. Thanks so much for the recipe!

I really enjoyed these...my DS thought they were a bit too rich. Needless to say, they were perfect for me! Quick and easy to make, but they seemed special. I will definitely make these again! Thanks for the great recipe, KelBel!
