I posted this in the cheesecake help thread and decided it will get lost in the midst of that thread. This recipe is so good and would be a perfect dessert with kids around.
"I played with this yesterday - won't use it for the winery 'do' but - is this ever delicious! This recipe is from a forum discussion a few years ago and I'd never tried it until yesterday.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Recipe
2 cans crescent rolls
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese --
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup margarine or butter -- melted
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar mix {1cup sugar & 2 Tbls cinnamon}
Unroll crescent rolls to cover the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan and flatten.
Mix the cream chese, sugar and extract together until well blended.
Spread over the crescent evenly. Unroll and lay the other can of crescents over the top of cream cheese.
Pour melted butter over the top and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Misc. Reviewer Notes:
1. I tried this out a couple of weeks ago with the cinnamon/sugar mixture and also one with cocoa powder mixed with sugar. Both came out so very good!!!
2. Making it in a 9x13 pan is the true miracle. I am not that wild about pulling out the springform pan every chance I get.
It would be very easy to cut this recipe down and make 1/3 the amount for a party of one or two with a little extra. I have a biscuit pan that is about 7x11 and it would work.
3. This recipe is the best ever. I made it in the smaller pan and used 2/3 of the ingredients. It baked very nicely for 20 minutes. The topping (cinn/sugar) is the best and adds a little crunch. It is one of the best cheesecakes that I have ever made!

Here's what I made -
Just cover the bottom layer of crescent rolls with this finger-lickin' batter
and then pour all that butter over the top 'crust' of crescent rolls -
and then it bakes into a great crusty goodness -
yummy!"
I wish I'd tried this before the birthday party - it would have been perfect for a crowd.
