Pro Tips for Success

For the best texture, ensure that your crescent rolls are rolled tightly around the filling. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary, and you want them perfectly golden brown. When chopping pecans, try to keep the pieces similar in size to ensure even distribution in each roll.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze the rolls as well for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. This will help regain their beautiful texture and flavor.
