About This Recipe

“This recipe is an inexplicable tradition in my family! -- for decades, but no one can remember why. They are a good assignment for guests who want to help out but who don’t actually know how to cook and/or aren’t to be trusted in the kitchen. :) They are ridiculously easy to make, very sweet, a little messy, and definitely delicious!

Directions

We’ve made these rolls -- exclusively at Thanksgiving

Cinnamon Microwave butter in a small bowl until melted; mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate small bowl; separate the crescent roll dough into its segments. Roll a large marshmallow first in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated. Wrap the coated marshmallow into a crescent roll segment. IMPORTANT: pinch the dough around the marshmallow to seal it into the dough as well as you can! (It will probably still escape a little when you bake it, but don’t worry about it!)

Once the cinnamon-sugar-coated marshmallow is wrapped inside, dip the top of the roll in the butter and then in the cinnamon sugar. Place on a sheet pan. (Space the rolls apart as well as you can so that they don’t get stuck together by their melting marshmallows when they bake!) Bake according to the instructions on the crescent roll package.
