Crescent Sweet Rolls

Warm, golden, melt in your mouth Crescent Sweet Rolls!!!  Yesterday I made them for a BBQ with our closest friends and drizzled honey on top of them (the rolls, not my friends)...omg, the were so dang good, I can't even begin to tell you.  I had planned to make 4 pans of them (64 rolls in total) and thank goodness my nieces showed up just in time to help me with 3 of the pans.  Thank you Finau and MJ!  Nifai was also awake yesterday morning and actively helping unlike some other sleepyheads AHEM AHEM!  So without further ado, here is the best sweet roll recipe you will ever taste.
