Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
  • 8 large marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
  • 12 tablespoons milk (optional, for glaze)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour melted butter into another bowl.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Pinch any tears back together.
  4. Dip each marshmallow in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  5. Place coated marshmallow at the wide end of a crescent triangle. Fold sides up and roll tightly, pinching all seams closed.
  6. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and dough. Place rolls seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush tops of rolls with any leftover melted butter and sprinkle with extra cinnamon-sugar.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let rolls cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. Optional: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls.

Notes

Seal dough tightly around marshmallows to prevent leaks. Use fresh marshmallows for best gooey centers. For gluten-free or dairy-free, substitute appropriate dough and marshmallows. Try adding chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts for variations. Rolls are best served warm and can be reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
