Next to wonton wrappers crescent rolls are probably my second favorite food item. Not only are they delicious by themselves but you can pretty much stuff them with anything your heart desires. I’ve experimented with savory crescent rolls in the past so this time around I was in the mood to try something sweet.
The brown sugar glaze helps sweeten the rolls so there’s no need to add a bunch of sugar in the filling. Give these a shot! They turned out quite tasty!

Chocolate Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls
Ingredients
Crescent Rolls
- 8oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp chopped hazelnuts, reserve some for garnish
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 package crescent rolls
Glaze
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 2 tbsp water
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl mix together the cream cheese, chocolate, hazelnuts and almond extract until smooth.
Spread the crescent rolls onto a non-stick cookie sheet.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on wide end of each triangle.
Roll up, starting at shortest side of triangle, rolling to opposite point.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, around 15-20 minutes.
While the crescent rolls are baking combine all 4 ingredients to make the glaze. Whisk until smooth.
Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle with the brown sugar glaze. Sprinkle with some of the chopped hazelnuts.
Bon Appetit!
