Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube (8 rolls) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 pieces Mini chocolate bars or candy pieces (e.g., milk chocolate, caramel-filled, peanut butter cups)
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Open the crescent roll dough tube and separate it into 8 triangular pieces along the perforations.
Place one mini chocolate bar or candy piece at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough up tightly around the candy, starting from the wide end and working towards the point.
Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each one.
Brush the tops of the crescents with the melted butter.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered tops of the crescents.
Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
Optional: Dust the crescents with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy your gooey, candy-filled treats!
