To prevent myself from diving over the counter of Cinnabon at the mall, I like to make a batch of these Cinnamon Roll Bites for just 2 Points each. They are super quick and easy to make, with the help of Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescents dough, and taste incredible. The cream cheese icing adds the perfect sweet, gooey touch, and they really taste too good to be true. One or two of these little low calorie cinnamon rolls really helps to satisfy my craving without going overboard. Perfect for a Sunday brunch, potluck, or even as a sweet snack, these 2 Points Cinnamon Roll Bites with Cream Cheese Icing are a must try!
