I made it over Thanksgiving and they were amazing; however, I thought of something that would make them even more fabulous: Nutella! Who doesn't love Nutella? Probably people with nut allergies...anyway, I decided to test this recipe tonight. And I was right because it gave it that extra somethin' somethin'. Here's the recipe and a picture. Please disregard my poor presentation skills:-( I shouldn't be so quick to discount myself though since beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure someone with really low standards will think it's a work of art. I'm thinking they would "chop" me on "Chopped" for my poor plating skills, but I digress. Here's the recipe...I'll shut up now.
Ingredients
- 1 can of crescent rolls (or more depending on how many you want to make) - I tested with Pillsbury Reduced-fat Crescent Rolls
- Large marshmallows
- Butter (as much as you want. You'll be dunking the marshmallows in it)
- Cinnamon
- Sugar
- Nutella
- Powdered sugar, if desired
Equipment
- 1 large baking sheet
- Parchment paper (to line baking sheet) - I used Reynolds Wrap's Non-Stick Pan Lining Paper. It's the best. The paper or the wrap will prevent the pastries from sticking to the baking sheet. It sucks when it does.
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Open can of crescent rolls; separate.
- Melt butter in a bowl. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl.
- Dunk that delicious marshmallow in first the melted butter, then dredge the marshmallow in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
- Place the marshmallow inside the crescent roll and add a dallop of Nutella on top of the marshmallow, then roll it up. Try to keep the marshmallow and nutella inside (I try my best to do this, but it still ends up being a little messy. However, even if it oozes out, you get this yummy marshmallow-y/caramelized sugar/Nutella-laced goodness and you can't go wrong with that. I think this is what Guy Fieri would call legit or The Hammer would call "too legit to quit").
- Bake until golden brown. Let cool. Add a dallop of Nutella on top of each pastry and sprinkle some powdered sugar on it if you feel so inclined.
Thanks for the recipe little cousin. You rock!
