I think adapted from Pillsbury Bake off in 1969 called Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs - I know my moms (Ida & Alida) made this often mainly as single rolls while Eileen liked it as pull-apart loaf. Tina made it for the fairs. Not many of us used the crescent rolls. I used the Everlasting Rolls while I noticed Alida had the white bread recipe I gave her from Betty Crocker in some of recipe collection. Others maybe recall how it started. The following is how Alida wrote the recipe down:

Using your favorite recipe for sweet rolls, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into 3 1/2-inch circles (I used squares). Dip a large marshmallow in melted butter or margarine and then in a mixture of 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon. Place the marshmallow on the circle of dough, bring edges together and seal WELL. Dip in melted butter & sugar cinnamon mixture again, and place in greased muffin tins, sealed edge down. Repeat with remainder of dough. Allow to rise according to recipe. Bake in a 375º oven for about 20 minutes. These are especially delicious when still slightly warm. They are hallow except for the gooey cinnamon and sugar coating inside and out.
