Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 12 medium fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 6 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Unroll crescent dough onto a clean surface. Press perforations together to seal and cut into 12 equal triangles (about 4×6 inches each).
- Melt unsalted butter in a small bowl. Stir in cinnamon and granulated sugar. Lightly brush each crescent triangle with the butter mixture.
- Place one strawberry at the wide end of each triangle. Cut large strawberries in half if needed. Roll dough tightly around the strawberry toward the tip.
- Arrange rollups seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
- While baking, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Let baked rollups cool for about 5 minutes. Dip each rollup halfway into melted chocolate using tongs or a fork.
- Place dipped rollups on a cooling rack or parchment paper. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes immediately after dipping.
- Allow chocolate to set for 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed up setting.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before wrapping to avoid soggy dough. Seal crescent dough perforations before cutting to keep rollups intact. Stir chocolate frequently when melting to prevent scorching. Sprinkle sea salt on warm chocolate for a flavor balance. If dough becomes sticky, chill before rolling. Avoid overcrowding baking sheet for even baking.
