CRESCENT ROLLS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND PEANUT BUTTER

My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to make. It is literally so easy that you can have small children help you make it. My second favorite thing about this recipe, is the fact that it only uses four ingredients. And I’m willing to bet you already have a lot of these ingredients at home already. This is a great way to get kids started cooking in the kitchen or to give older kids a little more independence in making their own snack.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED 

  • Crescent rolls
  • Peanut butter
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Chocolate Syrup

My daughter loves to help me cook in the kitchen. She started helping me with cooking when she turned 2 and now, she is very good at stirring, adding ingredients and even cracking eggs. Today’s recipe for peanut butter chocolate chips crescents is super easy, and even very young children should be able to help with this.

Begin by unrolling crescent rolls and spreading peanut butter over each. Older kids can use a butter knife to do this. For younger kids, I would offer the backside of a spoon to spread the peanut butter.

Now comes the part my kids love – adding the chocolate chips! Of course I think they love this step so much because they also eat some chocolate chips along the way.
