Alright, alright. I can hear you all rolling your eyes and looking at that picture saying “Oooh, Karly can open up a tube of crescent rolls and bake them! She’s magical!” Quit with the sarcasm, people.
Those crescent rolls up there are special. I really am magical! It’s true. You see, I took a boring (but delicious) tube of refrigerated crescent rolls and I opened it up. It was hard, lemme tell ya. Sometimes the tubes don’t pop the way they are supposed to! It’s horrible! And turrible. Just turrible. (Also, yes, I meant “terrible” but my husband says it with a “u” and I kinda like it.)
After I had those crescent rolls open do you know what I had to do? I had to unroll them! Oh, the work. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it!
Then I did something wild and crazy. Also, magical. Very magical, indeed.
I placed two squares of Hershey’s milk chocolate right in the center of each little crescent roll triangle. Then I rolled it all up, popped it in the oven, and sat back and congratulated myself on the magic that I had just created.
Seriously, y’all, the chocolate just transforms inside the crescent roll into something amazing. Chocolate is good, but chocolate baked in a crescent roll is super-fantastic. It’s almost like the frosting you lick off a donut. What? You don’t lick the frosting off your donuts? The crescent rolls really aren’t very sweet so they play against that yummy chocolate just perfectly.
Whether you make these for a super simple breakfast or totally easy after school snack, you are going to go nuts for these things. Absolutely nuts. In a good way, I hope.
Chocolate Crescents
- 1 tube crescent rolls (I prefer Pillsbury)
- 2 bars Hershey’s milk chocolate candy (you’ll have some left over for snacking on)
Pre-heat your oven per the directions on the tube of dough. Unroll each dough and place on the baking sheet. Place 2 small squares of chocolate in the center of each triangle of dough. Roll dough up in a crescent shape over the chocolate being careful to seal the edges so the chocolate doesn’t leak out. Bake as instructed on the crescent rolls packaging. Devour while warm with a glass of cold milk.

So, I also I saw these on the movie, “It’s Complicated.” And have wanted to try them every since, so this morning I was at Starbucks, you know that played out coffee joint everyone seems to love so much. Low and behold they had some chocolate crescents, I was so happy :p Also, I plan to make these w/ the pillbury crescents tomorrow night 😉 Thx for the tips!

I’ve done this in the past with Hershey’s cinnamon chips. Then, dust with powdered sugar. Cinnamon rolls for the super lazy!

Make them with mini snicker bars – they are heavenly!! I also drizzle with glaze to make them look like I slaved!

That “pop” used to scare the crap out of me when I was young.

Made them 2nite and topped with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup! My 6 yo daughter’s eyes nearly popped out when she took a bite and said “Are these stuffed with CHOCOLATE?” We loved them!
