Rommegrot bars

As a native Minnesotan, I feel an obligation to master the art of bar-making. No, I am not talking about collecting stools and pint glasses; rather, I am referring to those tasty little treats housed in a 9x13" pan. This past weekend was my birthday, so I made a pan of my family's famed Rommegrot bars to share with friends.

I first  received this recipe from my aunt after she brought them to a family event. We all ranted and raved about them so much I had to make them myself. They are now my go-to recipe for something quick, yet tasty to share. Here's how I make them:


Ingredients
  • 2 packages crescent roll pastry sheets
  • 2 packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/3 cup sugar (divided use)
  • 1 egg separated
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions
  1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13" baking pan. Press one package of crescenet rolls in bottom of greased pan.
  2. Mix two packages cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg yolk and 1 tsp. vanilla.

    {thick cream cheese mixture}


  1. Spread mixture over crescent rolls; then cover this mixture with the remaining package of crescent rolls.
  2. Beat egg white until foamy and baste over the top layer of crescent rolls. Mix together 1/3 cup sugar (I usually use a little less) and 1/2 tsp. cinnamont. Sprinkle over the top crescent roll layer.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool, cut and enjoy!

  4. Our kids sampled this at Sytennde Mai in Stoughton, Wisconsin and raved about them so I had to try and find the recipe! I hope it's the same version that they liked so well!

  5. I make a version of these. I spread a thin layer of jam ( any flavor) over to top of the cream cheese layer before topping with second layer of crescent rolls. Then finish the recipe as you stated.

  6. I make this often. I never put xinnamon on mine, though, it burns even in the best of tempered ovens. I do sometimes leave plain but when cooled spdead a cherry pie filling on top, or blueberry. Ill sometimes serve the fruit on the side. Its a perfect recipe and will please anyone! Great job! Excellent share!!!
