    I was looking for a quick and easy snack for my kids and honestly it doesn't get any easier than these 3 Ingredient Cinnamon Sugar Twists. What is the secret? Crescent rolls! You will find they are used in many family friendly recipes because they are so versatile. We have used them in the past to make Fruit Filled Crescent Cups and Blackberry Crescent Rolls. These twists make a great summer snack because they can be made in the toaster oven so you don't have to heat up your entire kitchen.

    Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Open up your tube of biscuits and unroll. Push the perforations together with your fingers to make a large, flat piece.

    In a shallow plate, mix the cinnamon and sugar until blended. Press a strip of crescent dough into the sugar, then turn over and coat the other side.

    Remove from the sugar and form into a twist. Place in a greased pan in a 375 degree oven or toaster oven for 8-10 minutes or until they turn a golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they cook because they will cook quicker than ordinary crescents because they are thinner.

    TEACH YOUR KIDS TO COOK

    I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry, cooperation and more are used while following a recipe.

    Raddish is a monthly subscription box for kids that is a cooking club, culinary lesson, and mealtime solution all-in-one. Young children get to work with an adult, while older kids and teens independently indulge their culinary curiosity! And it’s perfect for picky eaters — kids who cook, eat!

    ​A new kit is delivered to your doorstep every month!

    Each kit features a new culinary theme! You’ll also get a shopping list emailed to you prior to delivery so you will be ready to cook. These kits are a great way for kids to develop new cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while the entire family builds memories together. Find out more here.
