Watch these hocus pocus buns disappear after you make them!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These are easy-to-make treats everyone will love made with pantry ingredients. Sticky marshmallows are rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar. Then they're stuffed inside crescent roll dough. When baked, magic happens, and the marshmallow disappears. It turns into a sticky and sweet cinnamon filling. These are perfect for Halloween or any other occasion. We had extra cinnamon sugar, so we rolled half of the wrapped marshmallows in the cinnamon sugar. So good! You can serve these hocus pocus buns warm or at room temperature, with or without rolling them in the leftover cinnamon sugar mixture (but we recommend trying). They are great for breakfast, dessert, or snack.
