And finally, coconut-chocolate chip-walnut induced crescent rolls!

A big thanks to this recipe http://fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/2010/01/chocolate-coconut-and-pecan-crescent.html!  This is an amazing food blog that incorporates all different types of food, and makes it fun!

I had a canister of crescent rolls, butter flake flavored, by Pillsbury in the fridge, and since the husband and I were not thrilled with the taste of them alone when we had them with dinner one night this week, I decided they'd be perfect for when I made the above recipe.  That day was today - it's Sunday so a big cooking/baking day/relaxation day, the Patriots are doing awful, and chocolate is better than drinking on a Sunday;), and it's freezing cold outside here!   Again, thank you so much to For the Love of Cooking for being there and so creative:)

What you'll need:

• 1 canister of crescent rolls, any type/flavor you prefer - plain, butter flake, etc
• flaked coconut
• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• nuts - I chose to use chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375.  Open the crescent roll canister and roll out the 8 individual rolls.  Don't you hate when they come out of the canister in a disarray?  I always wonder what the heck I'm doing wrong!

Anyways, as FTLOC states,  top each triangle with the coconut, choc chips, and nuts and roll as you would when making a regular crescent roll - since my crescent rolls didn't roll out as perfect triangles, they didn't roll up or look like crescent rolls, more like little puffs - there is no real specifc amount of the coconut, choc chips, and nuts, just as much as you'd like - a little, or so it's bursting out:)  I went the bursting out way, and whatever fell out when I rolled them up, I just put on top :)

 

 

You want to bake these until the top of the crescent roll is starting to brown (means the bottom is browned even more) - mine took 10 minutes.  I waited about 2 minutes until I tried one, and I didn't even top it with ice cream or whipped cream like I was planning to.  Look at the inside of this -

!!!!  I could've eaten all 8 right then and there, but I refrained - my dinner was cooking!   I can't wait to enjoy the other 6 later - I'll let the husband have 1;)  Just kidding of course:)

Thanks again to For the Love of Cooking!!  I can't wait to try these again with different type chips and nuts!!!  I'm in love!  Easiest dessert to make ever!
