    R&R: Crescent Layer Bars from Pillsbury

    I made these for the 4th of July weekend and they were eaten in no time by just my kids and me.... yummy!  I did tweek them because I didn't have any cashews on hand and I cleaned out my freezer and I think I threw away my pecans... ugh!
    Instead of cashews I used heat bits, while I think it made the bars a little bit more sweet, they gave a nice crunch and milk chocolatey taste.  These will be a keeper at my house.  They were very quick and easy, my 13 yo DD actually made them. 
    Crescent Layer Bars from Pillsbury
    INGREDIENTS
    1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
    1 cup white vanilla baking chips
    1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1 cup slivered almonds
    1 cup cashew halves and pieces
    1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark pans). Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan. Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Place in pan; press over bottom and 1/2 inch up sides to form crust. Bake 5 minutes.
    2. Remove partially baked crust from oven. Sprinkle vanilla chips, chocolate chips, almonds and cashews evenly over crust. Pour condensed milk evenly over top.
    3. Return to oven; bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan. Cool 1 hour. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows.

    Sounds like a nice  upscale twist on Magic Cookie bars with a crescent base. Seems like they would be a popular addition to a party etc.

     

    The Heath Bits sound like a nice addition.
