Whoever had the idea that Mountain Dew and Crescent Rolls would be a good fit, is a genius! When my husband Jared and I got married, a family member gave us this recipe with her wedding gift to us. We’ve made these every single year around the holidays, and now it’s our signature dessert to bring to any party! If you went on the Homes for the Holiday Tour, you saw this recipe featured in the magazine! If you make these once, just know that your family will be asking for them again!! Enjoy!
