Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Pie Croissants Crescent Rolls

Here’s how to make sure your crescent roll dessert comes out flawless:

• Don’t overfill the dough – too much pumpkin mix will cause them to burst.
• Seal the ends slightly if you’re taking them to a party, to keep things neat.
• Let them cool before dusting with sugar – otherwise, it will melt.
• Want them extra crisp? Bake on a wire rack set inside the sheet pan.
