Video
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine ½ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Spray a 9×13 inch pan with non-stick spray, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan.
- Unroll the dough and carefully lift it into the pan on top of the cinnamon sugar. Trim an inch or so off each of the sides so the crescent dough fits better.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Unroll the second can of dough, trim the long sides, and place it on the filling.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of the dough. Bake for about 30 minutes or until light brown.

Note
- If you can’t find the crescent dough sheets, use crescent roll dough; just be sure to pinch the seams together so it resembles one complete sheet.
- To combine a smooth filling, use room-temperature eggs and cream cheese.
- For the signature churro taste, stick with cinnamon and sugar, but you can add other warm spices.
- Store—Once the churro bars have cooled, cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge.
