Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs

"This a real oldie but goodie from a Pillsbury Bake Off Contest. I am shocked that it has not been posted before. All of my kids loved them because the marshmallow vanished during the baking and also because they were delicious."

  1. Mmm, these are so good! I added in some chopped apple, brushed the tops with butter & cinnamon-sugar and it totally reminded me of little fried apple pies! Even without the apple though they would still be delicious. I only did 1/2 the recipe to try it out. I didn't have large marshmallows so I used 1/2 cup of minis. I put the apple & marshmallows in a large bowl, then coated with the margarine, & then with the sugar mixture. On the sugar mix I did 2 Tbsp Splenda plus 1 Tbsp white sugar. It didn't get too messy putting them together but they do get very sticky very quick. I also skipped the muffin liners & didn't have any problems getting them out. By the way, I had probably at least a fourth extra of filling so I might reduce the amounts slightly next time. Using the reduced fat crescents and with my slight changes, this comes up to 3 points each, which they are certainly worth & so much better than the alternative! Thank you so much for this yummy treat!
     
  2. Major crowd pleaser. No one can quite figure out what is in the middle and they are always shocked when I tell them a marshmallow. Make sure they crescent rolls are super cold because the warmth from your hands can make them pretty slippery and hard to fold up.
     
  3. How yummy!!! Better than any cinnamon roll that you buy at the store!! I put the marshmellow on the big end of the triangle, rolled up, then just pinched the ends shut. A little leakage, but it all turned out ok. What a treat for the family!!
     
  4. These are SO YUMMY! I was skeptical since they're filled with only marshmallows, but wow! I ate two and had to force myself to stop. Quick to make and a great treat for the kids, too. We ate them without any glaze or nuts, right out of the oven. Thanks for posting!
     
  5. Huge hit with my family thank you for sharing.

  1. What a deliciously easy way to make sticky buns! Next time I make these, I think I'll substitute mini marshmallows for the regular and add some chopped cooked apple pieces to fill.
