Creamy Chocolate Crescents Recipe

  • 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
  • GLAZE:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • confectioners' sugar
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and sugar. Add cornstarch, melted chocolate and vanilla; beat until smooth. Unroll crescent roll dough; separate into triangles.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, butter and extract. Brush some over dough. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture at the wide end of each triangle; roll up from the wide end. Place point side down on greased baking sheets; curve ends slightly. Brush with remaining glaze.
