Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (about 8 oz)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter (for brushing dough)
- Powdered sugar for dusting after baking
- Chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans) for filling
- Raspberry jam or sliced strawberries (for fruit infusion)
- Cinnamon or chili powder (for spice addition)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Your Work Area: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Unroll and Separate the Crescent Dough: Carefully unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into the triangular segments provided in the package, which will form the base of your rolls.
- Add Chocolate: Place a small handful of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate pieces along the wider edge of each dough triangle, avoiding overfilling to prevent leakage.
- Roll Up the Dough: Starting at the wide edge with chocolate, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed end, tucking the tips underneath to secure the shape during baking.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Lightly beat one egg and brush it over the tops of each crescent roll to achieve a shiny, golden-brown finish.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown on top.
- Optional Finishing Touches: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Use cold, refrigerated dough to retain flakiness.
- Do not overfill rolls to prevent chocolate from leaking or burning.
- Leave enough space between rolls on the baking sheet for even baking.
- Check oven early as temperature and baking times may vary.
- Serve rolls warm for best gooey, melty chocolate experience.
