1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
1/4 cup red raspberry filling (from 12 oz can)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped

Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 to 2 teaspoons water

Additional sliced almonds, if desired

Directions

1

Heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10-inch pan with sides or large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough on cutting board into 2 long rectangles; press each into 12x3 1/2-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough on cutting board and cut into 2 long rectangles; press each into 12x3 1/2-inch rectangle.

Spread raspberry filling on 1 dough rectangle to within 1/2 inch of all edges. Sprinkle evenly with chopped almonds. Place second dough rectangle over almonds; gently press top and long edges to seal. Cut crosswise into 8 strips. Twist each strip twice; place 2 inches apart in paper-lined pan.

Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove twists from pan; place on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, blend powdered sugar, almond extract and enough water for desired spreading consistency until smooth.
