Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 large marshmallows (regular size; jumbo for extra gooeyness)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk or lemon juice (for glaze, optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Melt butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Set out marshmallows.
  4. Dip each marshmallow in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar until coated.
  5. Place coated marshmallow at the wide end of a dough triangle. Sprinkle nuts if using. Fold sides over and roll up tightly, pinching all seams to seal. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
  6. Brush tops of rolls with extra melted butter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  8. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
  9. Optional: Drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice while still warm.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey marshmallow center.

Notes

Seal dough tightly around marshmallow to prevent leaks. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and check crescent dough ingredients. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent dough. Add orange zest or chocolate chips for flavor variations. Rolls are best served warm; leftovers can be reheated.
