Description
Chocolate Crescents are buttery, flaky pastries filled with melted chocolate and baked until golden and gooey. These quick, crowd-pleasing treats come together in minutes using crescent roll dough and are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or dark)
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for brushing tops)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the dough:
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. - Add chocolate:
Place about 1 tbsp of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate near the wide end of each triangle. - Roll and shape:
Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form a crescent. Place on the baking sheet, seam-side down. Optional: brush tops with milk for extra golden color. - Bake:
Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until golden brown. - Cool and serve:
Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best gooey chocolate center.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the crescents or the chocolate may leak.
- Seam-side down placement helps keep the filling inside.
- Puff pastry can be used instead of crescent dough; bake time may vary.
