Blintz
I love making cream cheese Blintz, but sometimes it’s a pain!  It takes time to roll the bread, spread with cream cheese, dip them in butter and then again in cinnamon sugar.  So the other day I thought I’d try making them into a bar.  It cuts down on time, preparation and you still get all the great flavors of cream cheese blintz without all the fuss!  My kids loved it like this and actually told me to make it like this from now on!
 
 
Ingredients are as follows:
 
1 loaf of square bread (24 slices)
1/2 C butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

cinnamon
sugar

 

Directions:
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; have a 15.25 x 10.25″ cookie sheet ready.
