Steps:
- Beat sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent roll sheet onto lightly floured surface. . Stretch the dough out, I use a rolling pin to do this, then trim the edges to give it a good rectangular shape. A pizza cutter is great for trimming edges of dough. Pinch together seams on pre-cut crescents if necessary.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the crescent sheet, leaving a gap at the edge about 1/2 inch.
- Sprinkle your chips on top of cream cheese - press them in lightly to aid in rolling.
- Roll the crescent sheet up tightly and wrap in cling wrap.
- Place in freezer for at least 2 hours it won't get really solid as the cream cheese mix won't freeze hard.
- When chilled preheat oven to 350°.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (prevents sticking and helps in cleanup).
- Slice the crescent roll into 1/4" slices. They won't keep the precise round shape, but that is fine!
- Bake on prepared cookie sheet for 12 -14 minutes until crescent roll appears golden brown.
- Cool on the parchment paper or wire rack.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the bars will taste. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high cacao content.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Chocolate cream cheese peanut butter bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The bars are rich and chocolatey, with a creamy peanut butter filling and a crispy cookie crust. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
