Crescent Chicken Squares

This recipe was brought up in Sunday School a few months ago.  I was hesitant to try it because of how fattening it is, but decided I'd do it for my kids' sake ;).  I cannot believe I forgot to take a picture because they were beautiful!  Almost too good to eat.  My family gobbled these up in shocking speed.  Maddie ate an entire one and would have had more if she could fit it in her tummy.  They were pretty easy to make and I highly recommend them!
