These are a favorite at my house. They make a perfect snack, a quick dessert or a delicious breakfast. They are so easy to prepare you can assemble in literally 10 minutes and have them out of the oven in 25. You can substitute any jam or marmalade you have on hand in place of the cranberry sauce, but I always seem to have a cup of leftover cranberry in the back of the fridge during this time of year. Cranberries and cream cheese are an excellent combination; a little sweet, a little tart and a little creamy make for some delectable bites. The crescent dough is really simple to work with so have a little fun with it. Here I folded them into little cups that fit my muffin tin, but you can roll them up or fold them into pockets. Really anything goes. Just have fun with it!
