Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the crescent rolls into 8 triangles.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Dip each marshmallow into melted margarine and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place one marshmallow on each crescent roll triangle and pinch the dough around it to seal.
- Dip the tops of the dough in the remaining melted margarine and then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the melted margarine before dipping the marshmallows. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works just as well. You can also experiment with different types of sugar, like brown sugar, for a deeper flavor. If you want a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips into the crescent roll before sealing it around the marshmallow.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Marshmallow Delights warm for the best experience. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat. Consider serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light beverage like Fruit And Party Punch for a delightful brunch spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of rolls for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other types of refrigerated dough like biscuit dough or puff pastry if you prefer. Just adjust the baking time according to the instructions on the package since different doughs may require different cooking times.
What should I do if the marshmallows melt too much?
If the marshmallows melt too much, it could be due to high oven temperature or baking for too long. To prevent this, make sure to bake at the recommended temperature and keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking. If you notice excessive melting, you can remove them earlier to keep the structure intact.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls ahead by assembling them and then refrigerating them for up to 24 hours before baking. This way, you can enjoy fresh Marshmallow Delights in no time! Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.
