Barbara Rhea - Beavercreek, Ohio
Bake-Off® Contest 33, 1988 Prize Winner
Like bakery bear claws with a moist date-nut filling, these rolls are fun to shape and a treat to eat.


   1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
   1/4 cup sugar
   1 teaspoon grated orange peel
   1/2 cup chopped dates
   1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
   2 tablespoons margarine or butter melted


Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, combine walnuts, sugar and orange peel; blend well. Reserve 1/4 cup of mixture for topping. Stir dates into remaining mixture; set aside.

Separate dough into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Cut each rectangle in half crosswise; press or roll out each to form eight 4-inch squares. Brush each with margarine. Spoon about 2 tablespoons date mixture across center 1/3 of each square to within 1/4 inch of edges. Fold sides of dough over filling; pinch center seam and ends to seal. Place seam side down on ungreased cookie sheet.

Using scissors or sharp knife, make three 1/2-inch cuts in one folded edge. To form claws, separate cut sections of each roll by gently curving into crescent shape. Brush top of each claw with remaining margarine; sprinkle with reserved sugar-nut mixture. Bake at 375°F. for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
