    Peanut butter and jelly is a childhood staple. We decided to replace the bread with a flaky crescent roll, and Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents were born. These are truly one of the best crescent roll recipes we have made!

    If anyone in your family is allergic to peanuts, this would work with most peanut butter substitutes. If you love these , you will also flip for our Pizza Crescents. If you're a peanut butter lover, you don't want to miss these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Crescents.

    Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents

    Ingredients:

    • Tube of crescent rolls
    • Peanut butter
    • Jelly

    Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Unroll crescent rolls from tube and separate into eight triangles. In each triangle, you will place ½ tablespoon of peanut butter and ½ tablespoon of jelly on top of the peanut butter.

    Now roll up as you would a normal crescent, being careful to keep the filling inside the crescent roll. I demonstrated for my daughter how to do this and then she was able to roll the crescents all by herself. When she was done, I pinched any open edges of the dough together so the filling would remain inside while cooking.

    Place the crescent rolls in a 375 degree oven for 11-13 minutes. Ours were done in 11 minutes, but oven cook times vary.

    You'll want to let these cool before you eat them. The peanut butter and jelly gets quite hot. Try one yourself before giving them to your child to make sure they have sufficiently cooled.

    We enjoyed this crescent roll recipe as an after school snack. It's hard to go wrong when you stuff a buttery crescent with PB&J. These are as good as they are easy and this is one of those kids recipes sure to become a favorite.

    FAQs for Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents

    Can I use different fillings besides peanut butter and jelly?

    Yes! You can try almond butter, Nutella, or other fruit preserves - just don’t overfill or they’ll leak while baking.

    Do these need to be served warm?

    They’re best warm, but still tasty at room temp. If you want to reheat them, pop them in a toaster oven for a few minutes.

    How do I store leftovers?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for a little longer for freshness.
