2 tube(s) 10 count refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits
1/2 c white sugar
1 8 oz cream cheese cut into 20 cubes

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat brown sugar and butter on high for 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved; set aside.
3. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-in. circle. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle a heaping 1/2 teaspoon in the center of each biscuit.
4. Top with a cream cheese cube. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal tightly.
