Method
Prepare the mac and cheese according to the package directions. Scoop 1–2 tbsp of the prepared mac and cheese into eight rounds on a parchment‑lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
Fold each slice of American cheese and place it on the larger end of each crescent roll piece, then top each with a set mac and cheese round.
Wrap the dough around the filling to seal and place the wrapped bites back on the parchment‑lined sheet.
Combine the melted butter with garlic powder and parsley flakes, then brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Bake at 375°F for 12–14 minutes until the rolls are golden and flaky.
Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, then break one open to enjoy a cheesy pull.
