ooH good to know!!
Kelsie says
Agreed! I checked mine at 12 minutes and the bottoms were completely burnt black! They were tasty once we cut the bottom half off, though. 🙂

Oh no! Crazy how differently ovens run-I will adjust that in the recipe, thanks!
Helane Knickman says
You should use parchment paper. I use it whenever i bake, and it always turns out great
Pat says
I agree……
Sharon says
FYI: everyone needs an oven thermometer. All ovens bake differently, so your dial says 350, but if oven wasn’t set right it could actually be off degrees in either direction.. I always set timer for least amount of time, then go from there, if it needs to be in there longer . Perfect every time.

Wait. These aren’t addictive….are they?

Hahhahahahaha
Emily says
Could I use cinnamon rolls? Do you think they would stay flat enough? Really want to make these but don’t have crescent rolls on hand.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
hmmmm, not sure
Stacey Snyder says
A little tip on slicing the dough. Use dental floss! Wrap around the dough and pull ends together. Works like a charm. Doesn’t squish the dough. I just found your site and can’t wait to try some of the delish recipes.
Jenn says
I use fishing line. Same result!
Teri says
They came out looking just like your pictures and as good tasting as they looked! My family loved them. Thanks!

YAY!!!
Ali says
I’ve found with crescent rolls you have to use a really good baking pan (light colored) with parchment to avoid them burning on the bottom, for anyone who was wondering about what pan to use. If I ever use a darker shade of pan it totally will burn crescent rolls every time.
That said, I used my light baking pan w/ parchment and these turned out perfectly. So delicious. Thank you for the recipe!

Ingredients
1 roll Pillsbury Crescent Rolls – I’m guessing this should read Grands??
jkweigle says
No! Crescent rolls are totally different. They’re lighter and much less dense than biscuits.
Valerie says
Thank you for the YUMMY recipe, Easy Chocolate Chip Danish. Could you tell me what sodium content is? My husband has recently had heart attack and I’m trying to cook only low sodium food. HOPE this is one recipe I can make. Thanks

Paige says

Amy says

Amanda says
I made these with organic crescents, soy free cocoa chips and organic cream cheese..wow!!! Amazing 🙂
jkweigle says
Look delicious. I notice the cream cheese is yellow-ish. What caused this? I always add butter to cr cheese. The addition of fruit also sounds yummy!
April says
Which sugar for the glaze?
