I recently bought 3 tubes of crescent roll dough, they were on sale and I had a coupon. Sometimes a good deal is hard for me to pass up! Pilsbury has unlimited ideas for the uses of a of their products so I decided to go look for some unique uses for their crescent roll dough and ran across this little gem - mini cinnamon crescents.
So easy, so good, and so adorably cute - these are going to become a regular at our house!
I made most of them sans raisins for my husband and unfortunately was not able to glaze these since I apparently am out of confectioner's sugar. Even sans the glaze, these were definitely a cute little breakfast treat!

It's hard for me to pass up those deals too! Now I have something to make when I find myself with an abundance of crescent rolls ... other than just eat them plain! Thanks!
