Here we go again on the quest for a cinnamon roll alternative...

This time giving the can crescent rolls a try.

Ingredients - Sugar (~1 cup), Cinnamon (~1 tbs), packaged crescent rolls, butter and  !/2 cupt chocolate chips (optional) 

Combine the sugar and cinnamon and give a good mix-up.

Layout the crescent rolls just like the package calls for.

Mmmh, that's good looking.

Melt about 3 tbs of butter.

Then spread out over the crescent roll dough.

Spread out the cinnamon / sugar mix.

Make sure that they are coated nice and even.

Get your 1/2 cup of chocolate chips ready.

Then spread the chips out across all of the pieces.

Just about good enough to eat like it is.

Roll them up and place on a pan.

Lookey there... a chip sticking out.

Pretty, pretty, pretty.

I went ahead and tried sprinkling some of the remaining sugar / cinnamon mixture across the tops.  It worked out OK, but this is optional.

See... all decorated up and ready to go.

Bake according to the crescent roll package instructions... and they come out looking like this.

Doesn't that chocolate chip just look smashing?

More close-ups...

Look, a chip got out and was smashed... poor chip.

OK, just a little extreme with the food graphics... but I couldn't resist the lined shadows from the blind.

Once cooled some, get them off the pan and on a plate ready to eat.

Maybe not the prettiest in the bunch... but I do take flattering phots.

Overall, these turned out pretty good and would be worth making them again.  I'd suggest keeping with the cinnamon and brown sugar mix as the white sugar used here just didn't quite get the right gooeiness.

We'll keep experimenting until we get it just right.
