How to Make Chocolate Filled Breakfast Crescents

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Separate crescent dough into 16 triangles.
  2. In a small bowl, beat softened butter until creamy.
  3. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until well blended.
  4. Beat in milk and vanilla extract.
  5. Add cocoa powder and beat well.
  6. Stir in chopped pecans.
  7. Spread a slightly heaping teaspoon of chocolate mixture onto each crescent triangle, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the edges.
  8. Starting at the shortest side of the triangle, tightly roll up towards the opposite point.
  9. Press the edges firmly to seal completely.
  10. Place crescents point-side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Curve them slightly to form crescents.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  13. Let cool to room temperature before glazing.
  14. **Make the chocolate glaze:** In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter.
  15. Add cocoa powder and water, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Do not boil.
  16. Remove from heat. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  17. Add additional water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  18. Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cooled crescents.
