Once they are cold they cut very nicely into squares or triangles. Looks pretty on a dessert table.

I've made a similar recipe, which tasted the same as this one, and I've not met anyone who wouldn't give a body part to have more of this! Be sure to eat it when it's still warm & have some vanilla ice cream on the side. The other recipe is called Sopapilla Cheesecake, but it has a lot more butter & sugar & an egg. This one was just as good as the one I have but without as much fat. It's still not an every day food & definitely not a breakfast item that would be a good start to a day...although it's really hard to NOT have it for breakfast when you have it available.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-05-05","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeWrench"},"reviewBody":"I used 1 c sugar and 1\/2 cup butter.

I did grease and flour my pan, plus I'd used just enough flour to press the crescent dough in prepared pan and to make sure the seams and perforations for both bottom and top crusts were sealed well. I used 1\/2 cup CINNAMON-SUGAR to sprinkle over the top layer of dough. Everything else was kept as is-I HAD used margarine instead of butter, but it worked well FOR ME! The bars cut beautifully! I definitely will be using this recipe again!
