#1,516: Maple-Bacon Breakfast Rolls

I'm trying to get some recipes made and removed from my Pinterest boards that have been sitting there for quite a while.  This recipe was pinned THREE years ago!  That is way too long to be sitting on a board waiting to be made.  Since we are all home this summer, I have been making more breakfast type foods for the kids for lunch since I have the time to actually cook.  Okay and let's be perfectly honest, they get up and get their own breakfast (cereal or bagels most days) while Brian and I sleep in, so getting up and making them breakfast foods for breakfast is probably unrealistic.  :)

My kids LOVED these and asked that I make them again tomorrow.  They were so simple to make and I will definitely make these again for them.  

10 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Crescent Dough Sheet

3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided

5 tablespoons maple syrup, divided

1/3 cup powdered sugar

Heat oven to 375°F.  Generously spray large cookie sheet with non-stick Cooking Spray, or line with cooking parchment paper. Unroll dough sheet on work surface; press into 12x8-inch rectangle.

In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of the syrup with fork or wire whisk until smooth and creamy. Spread mixture evenly over dough, covering to edges. Spread bacon evenly over butter mixture. Starting at the long end, roll up dough; pinch edge to seal. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to chill so dough will be easier to cut.

Using serrated knife, cut roll into 12 (about 3/4-inch) slices. Place slices, cut sides up, on cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown.

(I totally skipped this step and glazed them on the cookie sheets.  The parchment paper collected any extra glaze and clean-up was a snap).  Place waxed paper under cooling rack. Remove rolls from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix powdered sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon butter and remaining 3 tablespoons syrup with wire whisk until smooth. Drizzle icing over rolls.
