ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin pan
• One 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons orange sanding sugar
• 1 tablespoon purple sanding sugar
• 1 tablespoon green sanding sugar
• 8 marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Preheat: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll dough package.

Prepare the pan: Grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

Create the base: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Press each triangle into the bottom and sides of a muffin cup to form a cup shape.

Add the filling: Place one marshmallow in the center of each dough cup.
Close the tops: Bring the points of the dough together over the marshmallow and pinch to seal.

Brush with butter: Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter.

Sprinkle with sugar: Sprinkle each bun with a combination of the orange, purple, and green sanding sugars to create a colorful and spooky effect.

Bake: Bake according to the instructions on the crescent roll dough package, or until golden brown.

Cool: Let the buns cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

For an extra spooky touch, use black food coloring to dye the melted butter before brushing it on the buns.

You can customize these buns by using different colored sanding sugars or adding other decorations, such as sprinkles or edible glitter.

Serve these buns warm with a cup of hot chocolate for a truly magical treat.

Enjoy your Hocus pocus buns!
