Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 Cadbury Easter eggs
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon (tbsp) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by preheating the oven to 375°F and lightly coating a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Carefully unfurl each crescent roll triangle onto the prepared baking surface, positioning a chocolate Easter egg at the broader end of each pastry triangle.
- Gently roll the pastry around the chocolate egg, tucking and sealing the edges to prevent the egg from escaping during baking.
- Transfer the assembled rolls to the baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-14 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few moments to prevent burning.
- Dust the warm pastries with a delicate sprinkle of powdered sugar, creating an elegant and festive finish.
- Serve immediately while the chocolate remains warm and the pastry is crisp, offering a delightful seasonal treat.
Notes
- Perfectly seal each crescent roll triangle’s edges to prevent the Easter egg from leaking out during baking.
- Choose solid chocolate Easter eggs for best results, as hollow eggs might melt too quickly and create a mess.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent roll dough and ensure your Easter eggs are also gluten-free certified.
- Consider using mini eggs or smaller chocolate eggs for easier rolling and more uniform pastry shape.
