Ingredients

Scale

1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, cranberry sauce, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle.
Roll up the crescent dough triangles, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point.
Place the rolled bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

You can use homemade cranberry sauce if preferred.
For a sweeter bite, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top before baking.
These can be made ahead and reheated.
