Main Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (pre-made, flaky dough)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or segmented chocolate bar (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Optional Ingredients
- 1–2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Cinnamon (a sprinkle inside or on top for added warmth)
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll your refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles according to the package instructions. Lay them flat on a clean surface.
- Add the Chocolate Filling: Place a small handful of chocolate chips or a piece of chocolate bar near the wide end of each triangle, ensuring not to overfill to avoid melting outside.
- Roll the Crescent Rolls: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle towards the pointed end to form a crescent shape. Gently pinch the edges to seal the chocolate inside.
- Optional Butter Brush: Brush the tops lightly with melted butter to promote a golden and slightly crisp exterior.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the crescent rolls in a single layer inside the basket with space between each. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and puffed.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the dough triangles with chocolate to prevent leaking and mess.
- Use parchment paper or a liner beneath the rolls to prevent sticking and ease cleaning.
- Start checking for doneness at 6 minutes as air fryer models vary.
- Seal the edges firmly by pinching to lock in the chocolate and keep it melty inside.
- Serve slightly warm for best taste; reheat gently if needed.
