These Easy Chocolate Crescents take just minutes to prepare and use only 4 ingredients! Top with a sweet dusting of powdered sugar and you’ll find them hard to resist. Great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!
Two of my very favorite words: easy and chocolate. Together? Simply magical.
These Easy Chocolate Crescents are a staple in our house. Simple and sweet – anytime is a good time for this easy treat. When I made the batch that I used for the video (below), before I had even finished importing the pictures and video, my two boys had polished of three crescents each.
So, my advice?
Make two batches.
There’s something extra-special in this recipe that really might surprise you and your taste buds – cinnamon! I absolutely love cinnamon and chocolate together. In fact, if you’ve ever had a chocolate chip cinnamon roll, that’s very close to what these Easy Chocolate Crescents taste like.
The cinnamon and sugar are combined and then sprinkled over the top of each crescent roll.
Finally, a little (or a lot) of mini chocolate chips are sprinkled on top. Roll ’em up, bake ’em, and top ’em with powdered sugar – if you want. And you want. Trust me.
You could leave the powdered sugar off if you’d like but I just love the touch of sweetness it adds to these Easy Chocolate Crescents. I also happen to think it make them look so pretty!
Two tips:
- Use mini chocolate chips. Then ensures they melt completely and even though they retain their shape, I love that melted chocolate on the inside. Now, my boys? Yeah. They don’t care. They eat them cold no problem. If you have only regular sized chocolate chips you can either chop them up a bit… Or not. Totally up to you.
- Press the chocolate chips into the crescent roll so they are “stuck” there. That way when you roll the crescents up, they don’t scatter all over the place.
This is a family-favorite recipe and I’m pretty sure that if you try this once, it will quickly become a favorite of yours too. I do hope you’ll give these Easy Chocolate Crescents a try! They’re delicious for both breakfast and dessert!

I just found this recipe. I’m wondering how it would taste if I added a step – brushing with melted butter before I put them into bake. Have you ever tried it?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
More butter? I’m in. And yes, we do that sometimes but have found that brushing them after as well is really key.
Holly says
How do these keep if made in advance or are they best served right out of the oven?
Vi says
I served these warm this am with my hubby’s breakfast. He loved them. They are so easy to make too!
Leo Tat says
The chocolate crescents looks delicious. I like that you showed a video on how to make it, it looks incredibly simple that even I can give it a go.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yay! So glad the video helps.
Marge says
Trish, what does pin the seam closed mean? Thanks.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sorry about that Marge! It should read “pinch” the seam closed. Just press together with your fingers. Thanks for catching that!
Doug says
Please clarify your measurements for me. I’m kinda confused (my says that’s normal for me).
You call for 1/2 tsp. of Cinnamon and 1 tsp. of sugar. But then the instruction call for using 1 tsp. of the cinnamon/sugar mixture on each crescent roll.
My math tells me I’d need 8 tap. of the mixture for 8 crescent rolls but your ingredients only make about 1-1/2 tsp. of the mixture.
Am I getting something wrong here?
Thanks for sharing this. They sound yummy!

the recipe says 1 tablespoon of sugar not 1 teaspoon
