Ingredients

  • FOR THE ROLLS:
  • 2 packages Seamless Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough (Pillsbury, 8 Ounce Packages)
  • 1/2 cups Butter, Melted
  • 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 4 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 1/4 cups Butter
  • 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 cups Shredded Un-sweetened Coconut, Toasted (see Note)
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 F. Roll out one can of dough on a lightly floured work surface. Brush with half of the melted butter.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the dough. Starting with the long side, roll up the dough. Cut into 12 equal-sized slices and place rolls, cut side up into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Repeat this procedure with the second can of dough and remaining ingredients.
  3. 3
    Bake the pans of rolls for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly.
  4. 4
    While rolls are baking prepare frosting. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and sugar together. Once melted, stir in salt. Cook for 2 minutes. Add milk. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let it cool a bit before whisking in powdered sugar.
  5. 5
    Pour frosting over the warm rolls. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the top of the frosting, gently pressing coconut into frosting.
  6. 6
    Melt chocolate chips using your preferred method (in a saucepan on low heat or heat for 30 second increments in the microwave) then drizzle over the coconut.
  7. 7
    Makes 24 mini rolls.
  8. 8
    To toast coconut: Preheat oven to 300 F. Spread coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast coconut for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
