Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the crescent rolls into individual triangles.
- Dip each marshmallow in melted margarine, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place one coated marshmallow on the wide end of each crescent roll and wrap, pinching the edges to seal.
- Arrange the wrapped rolls in muffin tins and pour remaining melted margarine over the top.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try using flavored marshmallows or adding chocolate chips to the crescent rolls for extra sweetness. If you don’t have margarine, melted butter works perfectly as a substitute. Keeping the dough cold before wrapping helps prevent it from becoming too sticky during assembly. This recipe is an easy way to impress guests at a gathering, like a birthday party or a holiday meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful treats warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a refreshing Simple Punch for a cozy gathering. Consider including a fruit salad on the side for a balanced dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the rolls soggy. Enjoy them fresh for the best texture!
