Instructions
- Open canned biscuits and flattened each one with the heal of your hand.
- Melt butter and cool. Stir together cinnamon and sugar.
- Dip one marshmallow in melted butter and coat well. Then, roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
- Place the coated marshmallow on the inside of the biscuit near the edge. Roll the biscuit up and around the marshmallow one half turn. Fold in the edges of the biscuit. Finish rolling. Pinch seams and place seam side down on a baking sheet that has been greased or covered in a baking mat. Make sure seams are pinched together well or the marshmallow will leak out.
