Ingredients

  • 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Place muffin tin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any spills.
  • Open each can of crescent dough and unroll onto a clean surface. Press the seams together to make one large sheet per can.
  • Spoon and gently spread 1/3 cup caramel evenly over the dough.
  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Place liners in muffin tin.
  • Open each can of crescent dough and unroll onto a clean surface. Press the seams together to make one large sheet per can.
  • Spread 1/3 cup of caramel over each dough rectangle.
  • Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of pecans and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips over each rectangle.
  • Roll dough up from the short side.
  • Cut each roll into 4 slices.
  • Place into lined muffin tin.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and cool 2- 3 minutes in the muffin tin. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • Want extra gooeyness? Drizzle with more caramel right out of the oven.
  • Make it nut-free: Swap pecans for crushed pretzels or leave them out altogether.
  • Storage: Store cooled cruffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.
