Ingredients

• 1 can (8 rolls) Crescent roll dough
• 8 Large marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.

Step 4

Dip each marshmallow into the melted butter, coating it completely.

Step 5

Roll the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar mixture until it is evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the coated marshmallow at the wide end of a crescent dough triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the marshmallow, pinching all seams closed to ensure the marshmallow won't leak out during baking.

Step 7

Place each completed roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows and dough.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter, then sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon sugar mixture for added sweetness and texture.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5-7 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the surprise of the 'empty tomb' inside each roll!
