Maple Espresso Monkey Toes



Deut.8:3  And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD

1 Can Crescent Rolls
Butter(I use real butter)
Cinnamon sugar mixture
Powdered sugar glaze
Maple syrup to drizzle

Spray a six count muffin pan with Pam; add tiny chunks of butter equal to ½ t. Then sprinkle a liberal amount of sugar mixture over butter and sprinkle a little espresso powder.  Open rolls and separate each triangle. Divide into three equal parts and roll into balls. Add additional butter on top of balls, sprinkle again with sugar mixture and espresso. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 min or until brown. Make a glaze out of powdered sugar and water. Drizzle on slightly cooled rolls, and then drizzle the maple syrup. Yum
