Ingredients

• 1 can (8 rolls) crescent roll dough
• 8 pieces large marshmallows
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.

Step 4

Take one marshmallow and dip it into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 5

Roll the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until thoroughly coated.

Step 6

Place the marshmallow at the wide end of one triangle of crescent dough and fold the dough around it, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Make sure there are no gaps or openings where the marshmallow could leak out during baking.

Step 7

Repeat this process with the remaining marshmallows and crescent dough triangles.

Step 8

Place the assembled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle a bit of the leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Be cautious when biting in, as the inside may be hot.
