Ingredients

For the Dough Bites:

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough: Cut each biscuit into 4 equal quarters.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted: For dipping the warm bites so the coating sticks.

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Provides a sweet, sparkling crunch.
  • 1.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon: For warm, aromatic spice flavor.

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened: Rich, tangy base for the glaze.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar: Sweetens and thickens the drizzle.
  • 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream: To reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds sweet bakery aroma.

Helpful Ingredient Tip

Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature before whisking the glaze so it becomes silky smooth without any tiny lumps.
