Magic Marshmallow Cresent Puffs


A while back my Mom brought over a plate of these delicious puffs. She said “try these and tell me what you guys think.” Well, my kids never got to try them because once I took one bite of them I scarfed down the entire plate. (I’m secure enough in myself to be able to admit that.) =o)So I checked her blog and left a comment on her post about how wonderful they were and how I couldn’t believe she didn’t make enough for my kids. (Okay, so there were about 6 on the plate… but sheesh!) I’ve been meaning to make them for months but for some reason haven’t gotten around to it. Until this past weekend. They sounded good and I wanted something good to nibble on.I was amazed at how simple they were to make!

You will need:

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cans (8 oz. each) Refrigerated Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls
16 large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 teaspoons milkYou can use the Pillsbury rolls but I bought the generic store ones and they were fine (and cheaper.) But if you need the Pillsbury ones don’t forget to print out a coupon here.* Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl.
* Melt the butter.
* Unroll the cresent rolls.
* Dip one marshmallow in butter and then roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.


* Place in the center of the triangle and wrap it up. Make sure there are no holes! (It doesn’t have to look pretty. It’ll smooth out while baking.
* Dip the roll in butter and place in a cupcake pan.


* Repeat

Bake at 375 for about 11 minutes (until golden brown). You might want to place a baking sheet under the muffin pan to catch any spill overs.

For the glaze:
Combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk and mix well.

When the puffs are done remove them from the oven and let them sit for a minute or two. Then drizzle the glaze over the top. You can sprinkle with nuts if you would like. (I chose not to.)

If you let them cool too long in the muffin pan they are more difficult to remove but they retain their shape better. Just run a knife around the edges if needed. The more marshmallow that escapes, the gooier they are on the outside.

They end up being shaped like a ball but hollow on the inside. It’s weird! But the inside is coated with a cinnamon and sugar and marshmallow goo!


My son LOVED these! He ate four of them before I realized he had gobbled up that many!

Enjoy!

  23. Let me just tell you I made these and my family ate them all up and wanted more. I only made one can of crescent rolls…learned my lesson! I also didn’t have the big marshmallows so I used 5 small ones and it worked fine. Thanks for the tip about the baking sheet under the cupcake sheet…..I had 2 explosions.

  31. I’m not sure if someone mentioned this already, or if you celebrate Easter (I just started scrolling through your blog), but these have been called “Resurrection Rolls” or cookies. You can go online and find a list of the symbolism for each ingredient and preparation. It’s fun and has made a great Easter activity.

  32. Yum! These look really good and different. =)

  33. How funny, I make these too. I just use mini marshmallows but I add chocolate chips to mine. We super-love them and sometimes even sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
