Cream Cheese Squares

I made these yesterday morning. It was actually a cool day so I could have the windows open and bake/cook without roasting myself. These are ridiculously easy to make and so freaking good. They taste good both warm and cold. Cold, they taste like you’re eating a cheesecake filled croissant. Yum! I recommend this recipe for a fun weekend breakfast bar or a midnight snack.
