Ingredient Quantity
Refrigerated crescent roll dough 1 can (8 ounces)
Teddy Grahams 1 cup

We keep the butter melted and ready for brushing. We combine sugar and cinnamon in a separate small bowl for sprinkling.

Tools And Equipment

For Teddy Grahams in a Blanket we rely on a few key items that streamline our preparation process. We find that each piece of equipment helps us achieve a balanced texture and encourages consistent browning. We gather all of these essentials before we begin so we can work quickly and efficiently.

Tool Purpose
Oven Bakes each parcel at 350°F for a crisp edge and soft center
Baking Sheet Provides a flat surface for even heat distribution
Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat Prevents dough from sticking and simplifies cleanup
Small Mixing Bowl Holds melted butter or our sugar-cinnamon mixture
Pastry Brush Spreads melted butter over each piece of dough
Measuring Spoons Ensures precise sugar and cinnamon proportions
Rolling Pin (optional) Flattens the dough for a more uniform wrap around our Teddy Grahams

Prep

We are now ready to prepare the dough and preheat the oven. Let us gather all our tools and Teddy Grahams before we begin.

Prepare The Dough

Place the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface. Gently unroll it to reveal each triangular piece. If the dough is sticky we lightly dust the surface and rolling pin with flour. Press each triangle with a rolling pin until it is slightly thinner. This ensures an easy wrap around our Teddy Grahams. Cover them with a clean cloth to prevent drying.

Preheat The Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Keep a pastry brush, a small bowl, and our measuring spoons nearby for the next step.

Wrap The Teddy Grahams

We gently encase each Teddy Graham in soft crescent dough. This creates a fun bite-sized treat that melts together into a sweet and crunchy delight.

Rolling And Cutting

We take each triangular piece of dough and roll it out until it is smooth. We cut or trim any edges if needed to form a neat shape. We then position one Teddy Graham on the widest end of each dough piece so we can easily fold the dough layers around it.

Recommended Dough Thickness

Dough Section Thickness
Flattened Triangle 1/8 inch

Sealing The Cookies

We pull the corners of the dough over each Teddy Graham to create a snug blanket. We press the dough edges together with our fingers so there are no gaps for the cinnamon-sugar mix to escape. We use a light coating of melted butter over the seams. That buttery finish helps lock in flavors and produces a golden exterior during baking.

Bake

We place our Teddy Grahams in a Blanket on the lined baking sheet. We follow the time and temperature details to achieve a warm and crisp finish.

Oven Temperature Baking Time
350°F 8 to 10 minutes

Checking Doneness

We observe the dough edges for a light golden hue. We ensure the blanket feels firm but not overly browned. We remove the tray promptly to maintain a soft interior and a sweet, crunchy bite.

Serving Suggestions

We enjoy Teddy Grahams in a Blanket most when they are fresh from the oven. We place them on a platter along with small bowls of fruit jam or chocolate dip. We also like to arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, and grapes around the edges for a colorful presentation. We sometimes drizzle warm honey or sprinkle powdered sugar on top for added sweetness.

We use the table below to plan for different groups. We often allow about 2 or 3 wrapped cookies per guest if we have other snacks available.

Number of Guests Wrapped Cookies (Approx)
4 8 to 10
8 16 to 20
12 24 to 30

We find that a light fruit salad pairs well with these Teddy Grahams in a Blanket. We prepare bite-sized melon cubes or small pineapple chunks to balance the sweet pastry flavor. We also keep extra dipping sauces on hand for guests who enjoy a richer bite.

Conclusion

We love how these bite-sized treats blend nostalgia with easy preparation and they’re always a crowd-pleaser. By keeping a can of crescent roll dough and a box of Teddy Grahams on hand we can whip up this fun snack whenever the mood strikes.

We’ll enjoy them warm or at room temperature and there’s never a crumb left behind. They look adorable on a party tray and satisfy our sweet cravings in a single bite. It’s a recipe we know we’ll be turning to again and again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Teddy Grahams in a Blanket?

Teddy Grahams in a Blanket are a quick and fun snack that wraps crunchy Teddy Grahams in soft crescent roll dough. After brushing melted butter and sprinkling sugar and cinnamon, they’re baked to create a sweet, bite-sized treat. They’re perfect for kids’ parties or as a nostalgic dessert for adults. Best served fresh from the oven, they offer a delightful balance of buttery dough and crunchy cookie goodness.

What ingredients do I need?

You only need five main ingredients: refrigerated crescent roll dough, Teddy Grahams, melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. An optional fruit dipping sauce can add extra sweetness.

How do I make them?

Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into triangles. Place one Teddy Graham on each triangle, fold the edges, and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mix over the top. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Serve them warm for the best taste and texture.

Can I prepare them ahead of time?

It’s best to bake these treats right before serving, but you can prepare the dough-wrapped Teddy Grahams a few hours in advance. Keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to bake, then pop them into your preheated oven. This helps them stay fresh and prevents the dough from becoming soggy.

Do I need special equipment?

All you need is a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat, a mixing bowl for your cinnamon-sugar blend, a pastry brush for butter, and measuring spoons. An optional rolling pin ensures the dough is evenly thin, but you can press it by hand if preferred.

Can I change the filling?

Absolutely! While Teddy Grahams add a nostalgic crunch, you can experiment with other cookie fillings. Just ensure they’re small enough to wrap in the dough. The baking time remains similar, so keep an eye on the color to gauge doneness.

How many should I make?

Plan on about 2 to 3 wrapped cookies per guest if you have other snacks available. If this is the main treat, consider increasing the portions. Adjust based on how many guests you’ll be serving and whether you have other sweet or savory options.

Any serving suggestions?

Serve Teddy Grahams in a Blanket while they’re warm, alongside small bowls of fruit jam or chocolate dip. Add sliced strawberries, blueberries, or grapes for a colorful touch. Drizzle warm honey or sprinkle powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness. Pair with a simple fruit salad if you’d like a more balanced spread.
