Cinnamon Roll Crescents

Last night I tried a new recipe from The Hungry Housewife called cinnamon roll crescents. They were so simple and so easy and so fast to make, made with ingredients you always have in stock so it could be made for occasions like when you have an unexpected guest.

These are how mine turned out..
