Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat to 350°F. In small bowl, mix cream cheese, peanut butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until well blended. Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar on plate. Set aside.

    Unroll 1 dough sheet on lightly floured work surface; reshape into 12x8-inch rectangle. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough sheet into 6 squares, 4x4-inches each. Repeat with second can of dough.

    Gently spread generous tablespoon peanut butter filling in center of each square, leaving 1/4-inch edge. Gently spread 1 teaspoon jam on peanut butter filling. For each roll, roll side closest to you up over filling, to opposite side. Pinch seam into dough to secure filling in roll.
