Why You’ll Love These Cranberry Cream Cheese Crescent Bites
You’ll love how these bites turn a tube of crescent dough into 16 elegant mini tarts with just cream cheese, powdered sugar, cranberry sauce, and a few minutes of assembly. The flaky crescent cups hold a smooth, vanilla-sweetened cream cheese filling topped with glossy whole berry cranberry sauce for bright color and tart flavor. Optional pecans or orange zest add crunch and citrus notes that make them feel extra special without much effort.
