Ingredients
  

For the Cinnamon Roll Bites
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz) Make sure to use refrigerated crescent roll dough—it saves a ton of time!
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Use fresh spices for better flavor.

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk Adjust for desired icing consistency.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and pinch the seams to create a single rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter over the dough, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  6. Starting from the long end, tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the edges to seal.
  7. Slice the log into approximately 1-inch pieces (about 8-10 bites).
  8. Arrange the slices cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.
  9. While the bites are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. After baking, let the bites cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing on top.
