Maple Cream Cheese Treats

I haven't actually made these yet, but I had them at my sister-in-law's house recently..... fresh from the oven with a cup of coffee. Mmm! They are excellent!

2 (10 count) tubes flaky biscuits

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
4 T. margarine, melted
1/3 cup maple syrup (can use pancake syrup)
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese
2 T. softened butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Mix topping ingredients together and pour into a greased, 9x13-inch pan.

Cream together filling ingredients, except for raisins. Stir in raisins. Flatten each biscuit into a circle. Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto each biscuit. Fold over each side, pinching together to seal. Place finger-shaped rolls, seam down, onto topping in pan. Repeat with remaining biscuits. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees, until rolls are browned and syrup is bubbly (or cover and refrigerate to bake later). After baking, immediately invert onto a cookie sheet or serving tray.
