1/2 tsp lemon extract

Egg wash(1 egg and 1 tsp water)

Roll out the crescent rolls cutting at seams, line them up so the point is on the outside, overlap them slightly so there’s a gap, press the middle out to make it wide enough to add cream cheese filling and fruit. Spread cream cheese filling, then top with fruit, fold the pointed end over and tuck. After all is tucked, slide the dough over to resemble a candy cane.

What a cute idea. I have made this Danish before but never thought of making a candy cane. Thank you so much for the idea. Girl you never cease to amaze me. Wishing you and family a very Merry Christmas

I was with Russ thinking what the heck? It was looking like half a Christmas tree and how is that going to be a candy cane??!! 😂 But always trust Rhonda to make it right and make sense😊
Last year, I saw so many YouTubers using the tub of cheesecake filling. I eventually broke down and impulsively grabbed a tub one day at Wal-Mart. It sat in my fridge for months and months, well past expiration until it finally had to go away to the county landfill😮
Love the candy cane shape. Cherries looks delicious. Hope you, and your family have a very Merry Christmas !! 🎄🎁
Girl I get those good deals too, I’m with you I’ll go with the off brand to save money 😂 no shame in that!
