Cake Mix Crescent Rolls

A few years ago a friend shared a recipe for Cake Mix Crescent Rolls that she had found in a cookbook from one of the sportsman stores, maybe Gander Mountain??  A couple of minor changes later to the recipe and I added the Cake Mix Crescent Rolls to the Easter dinner menu.  Yummy!
