Serving: 8 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– A tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough (the kind that comes in 8 triangles)

7. Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the melted butter using a pastry brush for even coverage.
8. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, until the rolls are puffed and golden brown on top.
