Little Taste of Heaven

For some reason, I was really craving Smores the other night after J made his tri-annual meal for me. Because we don't have a working grill. Well, we don't actually know it doesn't work, it has been in the yard since I met J and yet we have never ventured to turn it on. This could be because I am HORRIBLE at grilling, unless that is, you are having a hankering for hockey pucks on a bun... and if I don't do it that means that...wait for it...J would have to be the grill master...Not likely! So our Smores adventure took place in the kitchen, heating marshmallows in the microwave until they were on the brink of explosion, then scooping them onto the graham crackers and chocolate. Not a bad alternative..Except now I am left with a bag of marshmallows and I am not a big fan of eating just a lone marshmallow (Though I hear they are good for sore throats--anyone have experience with that remedy?)  So while cruising Pinterest--which I must admit is becoming a bit of an addiction! I came across a recipe where you coat marshmallows with melted butter, then cinnamon sugar and roll them in crescent rolls and bake.




I expected a tasty treat for this cloudy afternoon at home, but what I got reminded me of those sticky buns mom used to make every Christmas Morning! Ooooh it was gooood!!!! I am restraining myself from polishing off the remaining 7 before J can have a taste. They are light and fluffy and delicious, oh and super easy!!



To use up one tube of crescent rolls, you make 8 tasty treats so you need...

8 marshmallows
1/2 cup ish sugar
several dashes of cinnamon
1/4 stick melted butter
1 tube crescent rolls

My measurements are vague because I didn't really measure, I eyeballed the cinnamon until I thought it looked acceptable and I just saved the extra cinnamon sugar for use another day!
