It’s not Christmas without a tree or sweet treats, so here’s a recipe that has both. This crescent roll Christmas tree looks stunning, but it’s actually super easy to make. Simply roll sweetened cream cheese and chocolate chips inside pieces of Pillsbury™ crescent dough, and then shape the whole thing into a pull apart Christmas tree to bake. Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar for the finishing touch, and watch this Christmas tree dessert disappear as guests come back for "one more piece" again and again.
