New YouTube video is up! Watch me make this over on my YouTube channel Faith, Food and Family ! Chocolate Crescents Ingredients: 1 can of crescent rolls mini chocolate chips powdered sugar First I unrolled the crescents into their triangles. I think the container had 8 in there. Then I sprinkled the mini chips over the triangles, leaving the tip uncovered. I also pressed these in a bit. It helps them stay in place a bit more. Just roll up as usual and bake as directed on the can. When they are done, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Aren't these so pretty? They look like an elegant pastry and they're so simple! I could almost see these sitting in a bakery! Hope you enjoy!
