{yummy} pumpkin spice crossants

happy halloween!

boo. ruff.

as previously mentioned, i heart anything pumpkin flavored. maybe it's that i am a fall baby or the memories that freshly baked pumpkin pie brings back. either way, i am always searching out any recipe that has pumpkin as the main ingredient.

so when my dear friends alecia and colin invited me over for dinner and a playdate for brody with their dog chewie, i just knew what to bring on over. pumpkin spice croissants.

super simple, pretty inexpensive, and a quick dessert that's bite-size and a crowd-pleaser?! i know, i know. i am not exaggerating. i came across the recipe on pinterest care of keri at shaken together and just knew it would come in handy. so here's the lowdown...

pumpkin spice croissants

2 containers of crescent rolls (i used the reduced fat version)

filling

1 cup of pumpkin puree

4 oz. of cream cheese (again, i used reduced fat)

4 tbs. sugar

2 tbs. pumpkin spice

sugar-spice coating

4 tbs. sugar

1 tbs. pumpkin spice

roll out the crescent rolls and use a knife to half each piece of dough, giving you a total of 16 rolls per can.

mix all of the filling ingredients until the mixture is fluffy and whipped.

spread about 1 tsp. of the mixture on each piece of dough and then roll up to form a mini croissant shape.

take each of the mini croissants and roll them in the sugar-spice coating.

bake for a total of 15-18 min at 375 degrees.

  

so while you're handing out candy tonight to the kiddos, make these for the adults. pop in your mouth and enjoy!
