Super Easy "Homemade" Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls

For something special this Christmas, I decided to go all Pinterest on my family and came up with a WAY easier way to do "homemade" cinnamon rolls without all the hassle of rolling out dough or dealing with yeast. They turned out GREAT although, I think we all wish there had been more for each of us (we each got 2). They remind me a little of chocolate croissants from Target or Starbucks.

Ingredients (Makes 8 rolls, served 4 of us):

  • 1 can crescent rolls
  • 2 TBSP Butter, melted
  • cinnamon sugar
  • bittersweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli 60% chocolate chips)
  • Icing: 1/4 C Powdered Sugar and 2 TBSP Milk
Directions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Roll out the crescent rolls on a cutting board or wax paper


  •  Brush with melted butter


  •  Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar


  •  Place chocolate chips on crescents, leaving the small end open. Lightly press chocolate chips into dough so that they stay in place as you roll them. (We only did four rolls with chocolate and the other 4 plain cinnamon rolls)


  •  Roll the crescents, starting at the large end and rolling to the small end. If chocolate chips fall out or are not "inside" the roll, take them out. Place the rolls on an ungreased baking sheet.


  •  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and not doughy in the middle


  •  Glaze with powdered sugar icing (2 TBSP milk and 1/4 C powdered sugar)


  •  Serving suggestion: Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Crescent Rolls and Sliced Kielbasa
