I dress up ordinary crescent with cinnamon and chocolate to create mouthwatering breakfast rolls. A little glaze ans sprinkling of nuts tops them nicely.—Denise Hayward, Ames, Iowa
Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 cup chopped pistachios, pecans or almonds
glaze:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons milk
finely chopped pistachios, pecans or almonds
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa and cinnamon. Add 1 tablespoon butter; mix well. Separate crescent dough into 16 triangles. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Sprinkle cocoa mixture and nuts over each triangle; roll up. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
2. For glaze, in a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over rolls. Sprinkle with nuts. Yield: 16 rolls.
