Here is one of my favorite ways to use crescent rolls!!
Pumpkin Spiced Cream Cheese Breakfast Rolls
2 packages/cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
4 0z cream cheese, softened
1/4 Cup brown sugar
1/4 Cup canned pumkin (Libby’s)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll crescent rolls to form 4 rectangles placed side by side. Pinch seams together to form one long rectangle. Place cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg into a mixer; beat until well combined. Spread mixture over crescents leaving a 1/2 inch border around edges. Starting at long end, roll up then cut into 1 inch pieces. Place around 2 9 inch cake pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. I left the centers open so the rolls form a circle.
2. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Frost warm rolls with cream cheese frosting recipe below.
Frosting
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon canned pumpkin (Libby’s)
1. Mix all ingredients into a large bowl until smooth. Spread over warm rolls.

I love to make veggie pizza with crescent rolls as the base, cream cheese and ranch mix combined and spread on top, and then topped with cauliflower, broccoli, carrot and red pepper.
One of my husband’s friends makes this wonderful spin-off of a cheesecake using cresent rolls. It’s called sopapilla cheescake and has a filling of cream cheese and cinnamon between layers of cresent rolls. It’s pretty good!
I love them as is, they’re so light and buttery. My hubby can’t get enough of them 🙂
I love to make chicken pockets. The cresent rolls make for easy prep. Gotta love the easy prep!
I like making chicken puffs. YUMMY!
one of my favorite ways is to roll up each crescent into a rope…and make mummy dogs. 🙂 we even like to make them when it isn’t halloween.
I love making little apple or cherry tarts, by placing crescent rolls in greased cupcake pans. Top with apple pie filling sprinkled with cinnamon or cherry pie filling. Fold ends over and bake until golden brown. Yummy topped with ice cream, too!
I like to roll spinach and artichoke dip (from Costco) in them. Oh my goodness, such a SUPER easy appetizer! Good too!
I love them for my sausage cresent roll bake. Roll out the cresent rolls in a 8×10 dish and seal up the perforations. then it’s topped with eggs, sausage, cheese and some great seasonings and baked! Yum!!
My son loves the ‘Mummy Dogs’ – and we make them all year long!
I like to fill them up with sausage, eggs, and cheese and roll them up. They’re great!
I love to make a cream cheese and fruit danish with my crescent rolls!
we ussually just use them as rolls. how boring is that. But I do have a chicken wheele recipe waiting for me to use it. Maybe this is the week.
Crescent rolls are best made simply. mmmm butter….
Oh, nothing is better than PW’s apple dumplings! YUM! I also like wrapping up pesto, sundried tomatoes and cream cheese and serving it with crackers…
Chicken rollups or chicken pillows as my kids like to call them. Shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese and rolled into crescent rolls, and then rolled in butter and bread crumbs. So good!
I love to make the Pioneer Woman’s Apple Dumplings. THey are so yummy!!
I love making pigs in a blanket with crescents, so good! I also like making chicken bundles with them (with a chicken, chive cream cheese, mushroom filling) 🙂
My favorite is our family’s tradition to make breakfast pizza on christmas morning and the crescent rolls serve as the crust. So delicious. Piled high with eggs, cheese, hashbrown’s and sausage. Eaten with a little salsa! Mmmm..
We love to take shredded chicken and mix it with cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, green onion, and cheese , roll up and bake. Our favorite chicken rollups 🙂
In our family, we love the cream cheese, bacon filled crescents! We have them at home on weeknights, and on special occasions when guests come over. They’re always a big hit!

My brother enjoyed them so much that he started making them himself, and added his own ingredients. He makes them filled with strawberry cream cheese, nutella, and even peanut butter!
My Favorite Crescent Recipe: Sausage Squares.
Roll out Crescents, place half of Crescents on a cookie sheet, finger press perforations to seal, mix softened cream cheese & cooked sausage & spread on top of Crescents, place the remaining Crescents on top of the mixture & seal perforations. Bake Crescents as directed. Yum!
I just love to eat crescent rolls cooked up with butter! yum. Plain and simple! I can’t get enough!
I love to make cherry turnovers with these. Then I drizzle with a powdered sugar icing.
I like to wrap them around cheese and hot dogs and then bake them in the oven.
We just bake them fresh then spread nutella inside while they’re still warm. Yum!
doesn’t get much better than a cocktail weenie wrapped in a crescent roll….unless you need to fix a craving for sweets, in which case I roll them up with some chopped dark chocolate inside, YUM!
Chicken and Cheese Rolls! Roll rotisserie chicken with sharp cheddar cheese (preferably VERMONT cheddar)in a casserole dish and top with cream of your choice soup and bake…mmm deliciously bad
Chicken stuffed crescents with red pepper and onions and ranch inside.
Veggie pizza!
I’m so glad to see they still make the Recipe Creations!! I was afraid they stopped making them because I can’t find them anywhere around here. Hopefully they were just out when I looked! 🙂
This is my favorite, favorite, favorite application for crescent rolls- the easiest cinnamon buns ever! 😀
Best Ever, Easiest Cinnamon Buns

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
Combine cinnamon and sugar. Unroll crescent rolls and press seams together to make a sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll crescent rolls back up (into a log), and put the remaining cinnamon sugar in a bowl or ziploc bag. Cut the crescents into 10 cinnamon rolls. Add to cinnamon sugar and toss to coat all over. Melt butter and combine with brown sugar. Place cinnamon rolls in a pie plate and top with butter/brown sugar mixture. Bake for 20 mins at 350.
Favorite Glaze

Heat the butter and milk together till the butter melts. Whisk into the sugar.
My favorite is to make cheesecake bites which has a can of crescent rolls on the top and the bottom and is filled in the middle with a yummy cream cheese mixture! YUM!!
I like it for little pizzas and also to make roll ups like ham and swiss cheese.
I love to make the Pampered Chef recipes for cinnamon rolls using crescent rolls. So good and so much better than the refrigerated cinnamon rolls.
I make a delicious cherry tart like dessert with crescent rolls.
Chicken Bundles – grilled, cubed chicken added to softened cream cheese, a bit of milk, and onion. Then bundle chicken mixture up in a roll, top with bread crumbs and bake. Yumm. My 19 yr old son’s favorite!
