Black Forest Crescent Rolls

I'm probably happiest in the kitchen. I can usually throw something tasty together with the most basic of ingredients... except for pastry. I am all thumbs and elbows when it comes to making good pastry. Oh, I can make a cake from a box, and cookies are no problem. But, pies... I have to buy the pre-prepared pie crusts made by that cute little doughboy. This is probably a good thing. If I was good at pastry, I would probably LOOK like that cute little doughboy. 

But, every once in a while, I get a little ambitious and try something new. Not from scratch, mind you... me and the doughboy have to tag team. But, I just happened to have some crescent rolls in the refrigerator that were nearing expiration date and some leftover frozen cherries that I wasn't sure how I was going to use. And, bonus, I just happened to have some semi-sweet chocolate chips. Hmmm... how about something like this?

It's a first try, there are some things I will do different next time... such as maybe making an powdered sugar drizzle, instead of dusting, or maybe drizzling with melted chocolate. And, they are best fresh out of the oven, when they're still flaky. But, for a person who sucks at pastry, they turned out pretty well.

I added a little sugar to the cherries to sweeten slightly. A tablespoon of cherries and four or five chocolate bits at the large end of the triangle and roll as directed on the package.

A little messy, probably need to try and seal the ends better. Bake as directed on the package. 

Super easy and quick... great for company breakfast or brunch.
