Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package pre-made crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Optional Ingredients
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate into individual triangles for easy filling and rolling.
- Fill with Chocolate: Place a small handful of chocolate chips or chunks near the wide end of each triangle, taking care not to overfill to prevent leaking.
- Roll Up the Crescents: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed end, encasing the chocolate inside. Tuck in edges slightly to secure the filling.
- Optional Butter or Egg Wash: Lightly brush the crescent rolls with melted butter or beaten egg to promote browning and enhance flavor when cooked.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 7-9 minutes, checking halfway to prevent burning. Cook until golden and flaky.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for 1-2 minutes. Optionally dust with powdered sugar and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Do not overfill the dough to avoid chocolate leakage during cooking.
- Cook rolls in a single layer for even crispiness; avoid stacking.
- Check rolls a minute or two before the recommended cook time as air fryer models vary.
- Use high-quality chocolate for better melting and flavor.
- Allow rolls to cool briefly after cooking to let the chocolate firm up and avoid burns.
