HOCUS POCUS BITES


I stumbled upon this recipe and thought the name sounded perfect for Halloween. When I clicked on all the links connecting me to the recipe, I discovered the source called them "Resurrection Rolls" for Easter and the directions gave a story of how Christ had risen from the dead. It was interesting but kind of put a damper on my Halloween idea. I decided that I will keep the name Hocus Pocus rolls since the cinnamon and marshmallows scream fall season. 

This recipe only requires 4 ingredients. How much easier can that get? I served these when another couple came over and they were a hit. They are best served warm, so I'd recommend heating them up in the microwave for about 10 seconds each before eating to get the gooey marshmallow effect, if not eaten right out of the oven. 

Tips: When you do roll them up, make sure to pinch them TIGHTLY shut. If you have ever put a marshmallow in the microwave, you know that they will more than double in size, which means if there's an escape, they will force their way out of the roll. 

Recipe

Ingredients
2 tsp. melted butter
8 large marshmallows
3-4 tbsp cinnamon sugar (or you can make you own mixture)
1 can of crescent rolls (8 rolls/can)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper. 

2. Roll marshmallow in melted butter and completely cover. Then roll through cinnamon sugar to coat marshmallow. 

3. Wrap one marshmallow per crescent roll. Pinch all holes to make sure the marshmallow is completely enclosed. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
