Reviews
I followed the recipe as printed. To say it was a disaster is an understatement. The filling was very runny and allthiugh I dint use all of it, rolling the crescent rolls was a mess. After baking and cooking, they had no flavour whatsoever. I guess the flavour was all in the icing, but I’m glad I didn’t waste my time.
Made these today. My family likes the flavor of peppermint and we really enjoyed these. They are easy to make and will be a great addition to my plate of Christmas treats for our neighbors.
Can you make ahead ? Need refrigeration?
Nothing more irritating as people coming here just to say how they would change everything.
This looks really yummy and simple. Could I make cinnamon rolls using cinnamon vice peppermint?
