FAQs
Q: Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
A: Yes. Cut larger marshmallows into smaller pieces so they fit and melt evenly.

A: You can assemble them and keep them in the fridge for a few hours, then bake when ready. For longer hold, freeze assembled rolls and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
Q: Will the crescent dough get soggy with the filling?
A: If you do not overfill and seal the edges, the dough will bake to a nice golden and not become soggy.
Q: Can I make these vegan?
A: Use vegan crescent dough, dairy-free chocolate, and vegan butter to melt for brushing. The result will be similar and tasty.
