Herbed Cranberry Cream Cheese Bundles

This is the quick and easy appetizer you've been looking to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas (it's not that far away!)

Ingredients:

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 tbsps chopped dried cranberries
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp fresh chopped basil
2 tsps finely chopped sweet red pepper
pinch or 2 of cayenne (or some chopped jalapeno)

1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls

Mix everything into the cream cheese until well combined.

Unroll the crescent roll dough, press out to form a 12 X 8" rectangle and seal the perforations closed.

Cut into 4 rows of 6 (or 24 squares)

Place 1 tsp of filling on each square, bring corners up together and give them a little pinch.

Place the bundles on a parchment line baking sheet and bake at 375 F for 11-13 minutes.

Note: The filling may be made a few days before and bundles may assembled 1 hour before baking.
