Can you believe I actually had to convince my children to try these? They’re deeply suspicious of all new foods (ugh), and were skeptical when I said brightly “they’re really good!! Try one!”.

I think they’re onto me, because I also said that about asparagus a few weeks ago, and they did try it. And hated it.

I guess I kind of deserved that one.

Anyway – the cinnamon-y deliciousness of these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups hit their nostrils, and they deigned to taste it. Naturally, their mother was right (as always – we’ll forget about the asparagus incident).

How to make this recipe

Get prepped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and slice the crusts off the bread

Lay out 2 shallow dishes (I use pie plates sometimes)

Flatten the bread and mix up the filling and coating

Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread out.

Combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Combine the sugar and cinnamon until well combined and add to one of the shallow dishes. In the other, add the melted butter.

Assemble

Spread each slice of bread thickly with the cream cheese mixture.

Roll up tightly

Dip in the butter.

Then dip the sugar and place on a baking sheet.

Bake

Bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned.

Devour.
