We’re no stranger to crescent rolls here at Eat at Home. They are so convenient to have on hand, and so versatile! There were some great recipes linked up at the last Ingredient Spotlight: Canned Biscuits, Crescent Rolls etc. Here is another you can add to your arsenal of quick and easy things to do with canned crescent rolls. And I’ve got one more to share with you next week.
Today’s recipe is a spin off of Tiffany’s Chocolate Croissants. I’m calling them Turtle Crescents!
They could be made to look a lot prettier with caramel instead of caramel sauce, and maybe a chocolate drizzle over the top too. The inside however…will keep you coming back for more! That melted chocolate-y goodness, topped with the sweet caramel and crunchy nuts..pretty tasty. The best part is, they can be made quick, fast and in a hurry!
Pear
Ingredients

Do not have the chocolate melts,could chocolate chips be replaced instead?
Thanks.
Recipes looking interesting, going to try some for sure.
Yes, chocolate chips will work fine.
you could use rolo’s candy on the inside instead of the caramel topping and chocolate chip
I used to make this with mini Milky Way bars and pecans. Didn’t have Milky Ways once but did have a box of Rollso and they worked even better than the milky ways.I have also used sheets of puff pastry cut into about 2″ squares, stud and fold into triangles, seal edges, bake -very flaky and yummy.
