Make these fun Hocus Pocus buns for a quick Halloween treat. Marshmallows disappear inside crescent rolls for a magical dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 8 large marshmallows
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar.
  4. Dip each marshmallow into the butter mixture, coating it completely.
  5. Wrap one coated marshmallow tightly in a crescent roll triangle, pinching the seams to seal. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leaking.
  6. Place the sealed rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For best results, pinch the seams of the crescent roll very tightly around the marshmallow to prevent it from leaking out during baking.
  • If the marshmallow does leak, it will caramelize and become a delicious sticky treat on the baking sheet.
  • These are also known as ’empty tomb rolls’ or ‘resurrection rolls’.
  • For an air fryer, cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, checking frequently.
