{bacon & cream cheese bites}

The party season has started! From now until New Year's, it can be a steady stream of fun parties and get-togethers, which means bringing appetizers and treats. These bacon & cream cheese bites are delicious, fast, and super easy to make.

BACON & CREAM CHEESE BITES

1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 8 0z. package cream cheese, softened
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Lay out all the crescent rolls on a large cutting board, and pinch together the seams to form a rectangle. Mix the cream cheese in a large bowl, then add the bacon bits. Spread the cream mixture over the crescent dough, leaving a small border around the outside. Starting at one end (the short end) roll up the dough into a log shape. Using a serrated knife or piece of floss, cut the dough into slices, and place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 14-17 minutes at 375 degrees until lightly browned.

*You can also add chopped scallions if desired.
