If you have ever had my cooking before, you probably know that it will some how involve Crescent Rolls. I love them, and they are so easy and yummy to cook with. Therefore I thought I would share a few delicious crescent roll recipes.
We'll start with the traditional:
Pigs in a Blanket.
Take your favorite hotdog and wrap it in a crescent roll, bake on 375 for 12 minutes. Simple and the kids love 'em!
We'll go with the appetizers now:
Pin Wheels
2 crescent roll packages
1 block cream cheese
1 small onion, chopped (less is more)
1/2 cup (or 1 jar) bacon bits
mix cream cheese, onion and bacon bits and spread on crescent roll. Roll up and slice. Bake on 350 for 15 minutes. Pretty and a crowd favorite!
Now we'll go with the main course:
Chicken Turnovers (thanks Kristy)
6 oz soft cream cheese
5 tblsp butter, melted and divided
4 c. cooked chicken
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tblsp chopped onion
2 cans crescent rolls
3/4 c. bread crumbs
Heat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in a bowl except 2 tblsp butter, dough and bread crumbs. Unroll dough, divide to rectangles (4 per can) press diagonal perforations together. Place 1/2 c. chicken mix in center and fold dough over and seal. Place spoonful of butter and pinch of bread crumbs over each turnover. Bake 20-30 minutes.
And finally, for Dessert:
Babies in a Blanket (otherwise known as Aunt Testies Pies- Shelby!)
2 cans crescent rolls (or biscuits)
1 package large marshmellows
1/2 stick soft butter
cinnamon sugar
Unroll dough and make rectangles (4 per can) (or flatten biscuits with rolling pin). Spread butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Place 2 large marshmellows in center and fold up and around it, sealing it at the top with a dab of butter and sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Place in a greased muffin tin and bake on 350 for 12-15 mintues. Eat when warm, but be careful, the marshmellow melts and tends to ooze out- yummy but messy! These taste VERY similar to Cinnabon rolls- MMM!
Let me know if you make them and how you like these! And if you happen to have a crescent roll recipe, I'm all ears!

I got this from the LPM blog, by Beth Moore.
This is my favorite crescent roll recipe -- these apple dumplings are divine!
your dessert recipe sounds very much like a recipe i found for "resurrection rolls". kids can help you make them--the marshmallow represents jesus, and the crescent roll is the "tomb", and then when they are baked, the kids can see that the marshmallow is no longer there! He is risen! :) i am sure there are more details w/ the symbolism of it all, but that is the gist of it.
i like to roll out the crescent rolls, spread a little mustard, ham and cheese on the dough, roll them up and bake. they are really yummy and a great side w/ soups! (or i can just eat 12 for my dinner! ha!)
several years ago, i made a crescent wreath at christmas time using chicken and green and red veggies (peppers and broccoli if i remember correctly)... the red and green show through and it is really pretty and delicious! there were a lot more ingredients, but that's all i can think of off the top of my head. if you're interested in that recipe, let me know, and i'll hunt for it.
