I found the crescent roll recipe from over at How Does She a while ago. They looked easy and when I showed my Dad, he wanted to go for it. The recipe seemed daunting at first. If you notice my recipes are not difficult at all. They have simple ingredients and even more simple instructions. I broke this recipe down into a neat step by step process. Give them a go. They are really good. I’ve wanted to make them again and put a wedge of chocolate and some raspberries and bake them that way. Yum. Can you imagine how great they would taste?
