Magic Stuffed Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (8 count)

sugar

cinnamon

marshmallows

butter, melted

vanilla extract

milk

pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 Degrees F. Using a medium size muffin tin, spray 8 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Be sure to spray the top too.  

In a small bowl, melt butter. In another small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. 

Lightly dust the work surface with flour. Separate crescent rolls into 8 individual triangles. Dip marshmallow completely in butter, then in sugar mixture, coating all surfaces. Place marshmallow on crescent roll and roll up, completely covering the marshmallow. *Firmly pinch to seal all edges. Next, dip the roll in butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar and place in the muffin tin. Repeat with remaining rolls.

Place on middle rack of oven and bake for 12–14 minutes. Be sure to place a cookie sheet or foil on the rack below to catch any possible spill from rolls.

When ready, remove from oven. Allow to cool for a minute or two. Using a butter knife or offset spatula, remove rolls and place on cooling rack covered with wax paper. Serve warm, enjoy!  

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Add a little milk at a time until you get the texture you like. Drizzle over warm rolls and top with chopped pecans.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 8 liners in a cupcake tin. Set aside. 

In a small bowl stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
