Ingredients

1 tube crescent rolls (8 oz) • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter • 1 oz cream cheese • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar • 1/2 cup strawberry jam • 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

Put peanut butter, cream cheese, and 1 tbsp sugar in a microwavable bowl. • Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. • Roll crescents out on a non-stick surface. • Join all 8 crescents together by pinching the seams, creating a large rectangle. • Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal squares. • Place 1/8 of peanut butter mixture in the middle of each crescent square. • Top peanut butter with 1 tbsp of strawberry jam. • Roll each crescent over, gently pinching the end to seal it to the opposite side. • Carefully place rolls, two at a time, into hot oil. (About 375 degrees) • Fry on each side until golden brown. This will take about 2 minutes total. • Remove rolls from pan and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towel. • Allow to cool 5 minutes, then roll in remaining sugar.
