Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescent Rolls

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.

Gently place 2 rolls in hot oil; fry on one side until golden brown. With tongs, gently turn each roll over; fry until other side is deep golden brown, about 2 minutes total. Remove rolls from oil onto paper towel-lined cookie sheet. Let drain. Place rolls in sugar on plate, and turn to coat all sides. Remove, and place on cooling rack; cool 10 minutes.

When ready to serve, in small microwavable bowl, place remaining 1 cup jam; microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until warmed and able to stir smooth. Serve with rolls.
