Crescent rolls - a mini-miracle in a can!

My entire family loves the flakey, buttery goodness of crescent rolls. Did you know that the crescent roll is probably one of the most versatile foods you can pick up from the store?  I knew about pigs in blankets, but once I found Pinterest and saw all the yummy, easy, creative things folks were doing with them, I keep some on hand at all times. 
In a nutshell, you fill the little crescent triangle with a combo of the items below, roll up and voila! Even Grandma Emma wasn't opposed to using a canned biscuit dough - even though her biscuits were to die for.  Give this little southern girl some molasses and one of those hamburger bun sized biscuits and I'd be occupied for a good while - but that's another blog entry! :)

Use one can of crescent roll dough and one of the combos below:

• PIZZA CRESCENTS: pizza sauce, cheese and your favorite pizza topping - you can also sprinkle the outside of the rolled pizza crescent with garlic salt. 
• APPLE PIE CRESCENTS: a slice of your favorite apple and roll up - add cinnamon sugar to the outside
• POPTART CRESCENTS: spread your favorite jam or jelly on the unbaked crescent and roll up.  Make a powdered sugar/milk glaze and drizzle on the warm, baked rolls. 
• NUTELLA OMG'S:  spread nutella on the unbaked crescent and just drool while they cook! 

• APPLE/BRIE APPETIZERS: I made these on a whim for an event I was attending and was shocked at how wonderful these were.  Take one chunk of granny smith apple (peeled) and layer with a small slice of brie cheese and two pecans, drizzle with honey, roll and bake.  If you want to impress at a small party, these are what you need! 

• CHEESE BISCUIT CRESCENTS:  put a hunk of your favorite cheese on an unbaked crescent, roll and bake. 
• CINNAMON ROLL CRESCENTS:  mix cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle generously on unrolled crescent, roll up and bake.  While warm, drizzle with powdered sugar glaze. 
• REESE CRESCENT: spread peanut butter on the crescent, sprinkle with chocolate chips, roll and bake! Don't you love the little hands?

• CHICKEN POCKETS:  add shredded chicken, roll and bake.  You can also add any mexican ingredients to make it a little more spicy!

Feel more than free to add your own combinations to this blog!  I'd love to hear from you!
