Chocolate Walnut Crescent Braid

This recipe uses my favorite type of baking product, Crescent Rolls. You may use any type of crescent rolls and for this recipe I used the less buttery crescent roll.

Ingredients:

2 T. cocoa powder

1/4 Cup sugar

1/4 Cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 Cup walnuts

8 oz. can Refrigerated Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls

Oven at 350. In small bowl, blend chocolate, sugar, and yogurt until smooth; stir in nuts. Separate dough and place on ungreased cookie sheet with edges overlapping. Press to seal perforations and edges forming a rectangle. Spread chocolate mixture in 2-inch strip lengthwise down center of dough.

Fold strips of dough at an angle halfway across to give a braided appearance. Seal each end by folding under the edge. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

In small bowl, blend powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk until smooth; drizzle over warm chocolate braid. Sprinkle with nuts. Cool slightly and slice to serve.

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp. milk

1/4 cup walnuts
