Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 rolls) Crescent roll dough
- 8 Large marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together until well combined.
Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
Dip each marshmallow into the melted butter, coating it completely.
Roll the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar mixture until it is evenly coated.
Place the coated marshmallow at the wide end of a crescent dough triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the marshmallow, pinching all seams closed to ensure the marshmallow won't leak out during baking.
Place each completed roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows and dough.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter, then sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon sugar mixture for added sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5-7 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the surprise of the 'empty tomb' inside each roll!
