So, it was passed onto me -- apparently so I can get fat! Although, I do buy the reduced fat crescents whenever making these recipes. So, I whipped out the book and the very last page has these bars. I scanned the ingredients quickly and we have everything on hand. Even the 8 oz. package of cream cheese - an extra from making the cheesecake for my birthday!
8 oz. refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
3/4 cup salted peanuts or other nuts, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375°. Separate dough into 2 long rectangles. Place in ungreased 13 x 9 inch pan; press over bottom to form crust. Seal perforations. Bake at 375° for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter; blend until smooth. Stir in corn syrup, vanilla and egg; mix well. Pour mixture over partially baked crust; spread evenly. Sprinkle with marshmallows, peanuts and chocolate chips. Return to oven and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until filling is firm to touch. Cool completely; cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers. 36 bars.
Tip: For firmer bar, refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Thirty six bars out of a 13 x 9 inch pan? That's like 1 x 2 inch bars!! I guess if you're eating them at a public function where you have to pretend to be quaint and lady-like. When I cut them I got 12 brownie-sized bars.
The shopping trip tonight was a success. Well - almost. Johnny took a slight detour down the frozen food aisle to grab a frozen pizza and we ended up with some other things in the cart. Up until that last aisle we'd stuck to our list. At the check-out I learned that we'd saved $39.79 total - $26.26 in preferred card savings and $13.53 in scanned coupons! Looking forward to the rest of the week's cooking with a planned menu and fully stocked kitchen and fridge!

Yum, what a tasty way to use crescent rolls. These look fab! I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link your bars up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweets-for-saturday-10.html
