Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1/4 cup raspberry preserves or jam
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles along the perforations.
- Place 1 teaspoon of raspberry preserves and a few chocolate chips near the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form crescent shapes, enclosing the filling.
- Place crescents on the baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Optional: Brush with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
- Use dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on preference.
- Chilling the assembled crescents for 10–15 minutes before baking helps prevent filling from leaking.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated.
