Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Tasted good but way way too much filling for 8 crescent rolls. Oozed out all over the baking sheet. The glaze was too thin also. Only needed 1 Tbsp of milk.
This was fast, I had all the ingredients, and it was so delicious!
Perfect! I’m so glad you loved them!
Maybe I read it wrong, but 2 tablespoons of milk with a quarter cup of powdered sugar makes sugary milk when I do it. I had to add about three more 1/4 cup scoops just to thicken 1 tablespoon. Where did I go wrong? Delicious otherwise!!
It’s meant to be more of a glaze so it should be a bit runny!
This is a new family favorite at our house! We will be making these again for sure!
Perfect! So glad you enjoyed them!
These were a nice treat with breakfast this morning!! They were so easy the kids made them even!! Thanks for the recipe!
Perfect! I’m glad you all loved them!
My kiddos LOVED this recipe. And so easy! Definitely a keeper.
Perfect! Glad they were a hit!
