Ingredients
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (8 crescents)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: Gently open the can and unroll the crescents. Gently separate the crescent rolls.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle about a half a teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of each crescent. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips on top and gently press into the crescent roll.
- Roll and Seal: Roll up the crescent roll and pinch the seam closed.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Handle the crescent dough gently to maintain those flaky layers. Mini chocolate chips work best as they distribute more evenly, but regular chocolate chips can be used if chopped smaller. These are best served warm when the chocolate is still melty. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.
