These Crescent Macaroon Bars need to be on your Christmas cookie tray this year! Layers of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and almonds - the perfect treat recipe for holiday entertaining!
I have this crazy two-sided personality where I absolutely love the idea of socializing and having friends over for meals and coffee. And then there's this other side of me where I just want to cuddle up with my people under a blankie and a cup of coffee while watching a movie on the weekend.
I think what happens is, I LOVE the idea of having people over. Chatting casually about our lives, laughing with each other, and just generally enjoying the company of others. Of course this ideas always revolves around a special menu of some kind. Most recently, it was Crockpot Holiday Party Meatball Sandwiches and these delicious Crescent Macaroon Bars.
The reality, though, is that having people over when you're raising three young children, is a metric TON of work. I'm proud to say our house in generally clean and organized, for the most part, at any given time. I don't know what it is, but kids seems to sense that when you've invited guests over to visit, they can't help but make bigger messes with their toys and food than they normally would. UGH!
Nevertheless, I never regret having friends over. It's just that, by the end of the night, I'm utterly exhausted. It doesn't help that I'm a hopeless introvert, either! Friends, if you're anything like me and the way our family operates while preparing for company, I have one thing covered that you don't need to stress about - these Crescent Macaroon Bars! Perfect for company this upcoming holiday season!

Layered crescent rolls with drizzled sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and almonds.
Unroll one can of crescent rolls into the bottom of a well greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Press perforations to seal and press dough out to cover bottom of dish.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups coconut over crescent rolls.
In a small bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and almond extract. Drizzle half of milk over coconut.
Unroll second can of crescent rolls onto a well greased cookie sheet. Press perforations to seal. Carefully lay on top of ingredients in baking dish.
Repeat layers with remaining coconut and drizzled sweetened condensed milk. Top with sliced almonds.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown on edges. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
These sweet dessert bars stack well, so they're great for making a batch to give as a gift. I'm planning on including these in my Christmas cookie tray this year - we couldn't stop grabbing these delicious bars!
I love being able to grab Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls Twin Pack in the refrigerated aisle during my weekly grocery trip through Walmart. There are so many creative ways to use crescent rolls, especially during the busy holiday entertaining season, that it's really convenient for me to be able to pick up a twin pack there. I've been developing some more yummy recipes using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls that I plan on sharing with you here on Mostly Homemade Mom, so keep checking back here this season!
