Easy Bacon Chocolate Danishes

If you want to make the easiest danish ever make these chocolate bacon danishes that use canned biscuit dough. All you do is flatten out the biscuit and make a little indent in the middle of it for the filling.

If you don't like bacon and chocolate together any type of canned fruit would be good with these such as cherry pie filling or apples.

These are the easiest danishes you could possibly make, because the secret is using a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls. No kneading or making your own puff pastry for these. That is however on my bucket list of foods to try making one of these days. The center of the danishes is cream cheese with a little bit of powdered sugar. Bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes and when they come out drizzle some chocolate over the top and top with bacon. I was a bit lazy after yoga class today, and this ended up being my dinner. Don't tell anyway mmk? J/k. 🙂

What Ingredients do I need? 

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

Cream Cheese -  softened at room temperature 

Powdered Sugar - for sweetness 

Canned Biscuits  - Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Big & Flaky refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Bacon - such as Hormel Black Label Bacon, I like this brand cause you just microwave the bacon for 30 seconds in the microwave and it’s ready 

Hazelnut Spread  - any brand 

How to Make Bacon Chocolate Danishes 

Heat oven to 350°F. Line large cookie sheet with parchment paper. In small bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Remove dough from can; do not unroll. Cut into 8 slices. Place cut side down 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Press each slice into 3-inch round. Press 1 ½-inch-wide indentation in center of each round. Spoon 1 ½ tablespoons cream cheese mixture into each indentation. Brush edges with beaten egg.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp. Drain well.

In small microwavable bowl, mix chocolate hazelnut spread and espresso powder. Microwave on High 30 seconds; stir. Drizzle over rolls. Sprinkle with bacon.
