Description

These Easy Chocolate Crescents are a delightful treat that require just 4 simple ingredients and minutes to prepare. Perfectly golden and filled with mini chocolate chips, they make an irresistible breakfast, brunch, or dessert option topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar.


Ingredients

Pastry

  • 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (8 crescents)

Filling

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Topping

  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare crescents: Gently open the refrigerated can of crescent rolls and unroll them carefully. Separate the dough into individual crescents.
  3. Mix sugar-cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar thoroughly.
  4. Add cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle approximately half a teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture onto each crescent roll for a sweet and spicy flavor base.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips across the cinnamon-sugar layer on all crescents, gently pressing them into the dough to keep them in place.
  6. Roll crescents: Carefully roll up each crescent starting from the wider end and pinch the seams closed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crescents are a beautiful golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Optional topping: Once baked and slightly cooled, dust the crescents lightly with powdered sugar using a dusting wand or a fine sieve for an added touch of sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated crescent rolls for convenience and best texture.
  • Be gentle when handling crescent dough to avoid tearing.
  • Press chocolate chips lightly into dough to prevent falling out during baking.
  • Powdered sugar topping is optional but adds a lovely finishing touch.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and melted chocolate experience.
