Combine a card and edible craft project in one with this easy recipe that literally says “I love Mom.”
A package of refrigerated crescent rolls, some cinnamon sugar and a strawberry can be transformed into the perfect edible message to Mom. Tear off pieces of dough and let the kids roll it into a rope. Use the crescent roll ropes to form letters that spell “I” and “Mom.” Let an adult take over and carve half of a strawberry into a heart. Place the baked letters on a plate that spells out “I love Mom” with the heart-shaped berry replacing the word love.
Ingredients
- One package (8-oz) refrigerated crescent dough sheets
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 strawberry half
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper. Tear off four pieces of dough. Place on a work surface; use hands to roll each piece into 6-inch long and ¼-inch wide ropes. Place dough ropes on prepared pan. Using one rope for each letter, form the letters I, M, O and M.
Combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of dough letters. Bake for 9 minutes or until lightly browned. While baking, cut strawberry half into a heart shape using a paring knife. Place letters and strawberry heart onto plate to spell “I love Mom” with the strawberry heart replacing the word love.
