Equipment

  • 1 pan

Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent rolls
  • 1/3 c peanut butter creamy
  • 1 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 c jam
  • 2 c oil

Instructions

  • Put peanut butter, cream cheese, and 1 tbsp sugar in a microwavable bowl.
  • Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth.
  • Roll crescents out on a non-stick surface. Join all 8 crescents together by pinching the seams, creating a large rectangle.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal squares. Place 1/8 of peanut butter mixture in the middle of each crescent square.
  • Top peanut butter with 1 tbsp of strawberry jam. Roll each crescent over the filling, gently pinching the end to seal it to the opposite side.
  • Carefully place rolls, two at a time, into hot oil. (About 375 degrees) Fry on each side until golden brown. This will take about 2 minutes total.
  • Remove rolls from pan and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towel. Allow to cool 5 minutes, then roll in remaining sugar.
    Enjoy!
