Fast and tasty Easter or spring dessert…Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs.
My adventures through my mom’s recipe box continues! Last week, I shared a Chicken Long Rice and a BBQ Chicken recipe. This week, I found an old favorite, Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs that I haven’t made in years.
Easy and delicious Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs.Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs
Making these puffs uses simple ingredients and it’s a fun recipe to make with kids. All you need are 2 cans of crescent rolls, large marshmallows, melted butter, cinnamon/sugar mix, powder sugar, milk, and nuts.
To make assembly easier, open the crescent rolls and separate onto parchment paper. Then, melt the butter and have the cinnamon sugar mixture ready. Once this is done, dip a marshmallow into butter and then into the cinnamon mixture.
Tip: Since the marshmallows need to dipped into butter and cinnamon, use a toothpick to roll the marshmallows in the butter/cinnamon mixture to keep fingers mess free.
Place the marshmallow onto the large end of the crescent roll triangle and bring the tips over the marshmallow. Now, roll the marshmallow towards the small end.
Pinch close any openings and place in a greased muffin pan with the rolled tip facing down. Pop muffin pan into oven and bake.
Note: Some of the puffs may pop open and overflow. To prevent a mess in the oven, place the muffin pan on another pan to catch any overflow.
Remove the puffs while it is still warm, lifting them up/out with a butter knife or spoon. If puffs are left to cool, the marshmallow’s overflow will harden to a stiff glue and make the puffs stick to the pan. I stepped away to do something and let my first batch cool too much and I had to pry them out. You can see the mess it created above, so learn from my mistake.
Optional – Plate the puffs and top with vanilla icing and chopped walnuts. Best served warm.
Doesn’t that look good?
