Dip a large marshmallow in melted butter and then roll in a sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place coated marshmallow in a triangle from a prepared package of crescent rolls. Seal each crescent triangle well and place in a lightly greased muffin pan. Bake at 350 for 15 mins or until golden brown. Drizzle with vanilla icing while still warm.
