Magic Marshmallow Meltaways
Chewy, gooey marshmallow-filled crescent rolls coated in cinnamon sugar make a delightful treat perfect for snacking or dessert, appealing to all ages with warm, sweet flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the crescent rolls and place one marshmallow in the center of each.
- Wrap the dough around the marshmallow, pinching the edges to seal completely.
- Dip each wrapped marshmallow in melted margarine, then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place the prepared rolls in a slightly greased muffin tin.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra touch, try using flavored marshmallows, such as chocolate or strawberry, for a fun twist. If you don’t have margarine, melted butter works perfectly as a substitute. Ensure the edges of the dough are well sealed to prevent the marshmallow from leaking out during baking. You can also experiment with different types of sugar, like brown sugar, for a richer flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These delightful treats are perfect for dessert or as a sweet snack. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing. They also go well with a refreshing drink like Betty'S Pink Shower Punch(Makes Thirty 7 Ounce Cups) for a festive touch. Consider serving them at parties or gatherings for a fun and unexpected treat.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the Magic Marshmallow Meltaways to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to regain their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of dough instead of crescent rolls?
Yes, you can use puff pastry or biscuit dough as alternatives. However, the texture and flavor may vary slightly. Puff pastry will result in a flakier treat, while biscuit dough will be denser and more biscuit-like. Adjust baking time as necessary depending on the dough you choose.
What can I do if the marshmallows leak out during baking?
If marshmallows leak out, it usually means the dough wasn't sealed well enough. To prevent this, ensure you pinch the edges tightly closed. If you do experience leakage, you can still enjoy the melted goodness that remains in the muffin tin—just scrape it out and serve it as a sweet sauce!
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls and store them unbaked in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. For longer storage, freeze the wrapped marshmallows and bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. This makes them a great option for last-minute gatherings!
