Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 count
  • 8 large marshmallows jumbo size
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Place melted butter in a separate bowl.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  4. Dip each marshmallow in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  5. Place a coated marshmallow at the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll up tightly, pinching all the seams shut completely. This is the most important step — any gap will leak.
  6. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with any leftover cinnamon sugar.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let cool for 3 minutes before serving. Tear open to reveal the hollow center.
