Prep: 25 min | Total: 50 min | Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

5 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 large orange (1 tablespoon grated peel and 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons juice)
1/3 cup coconut
1/4 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup finely chopped pitted dates
1/4 cup Jif® Creamy Almond Butter
1 can Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Homestyle refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line large cookie sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the orange juice with whisk until smooth; set aside.
In another small bowl, mix coconut and almonds; set aside.
In medium bowl, mix dates and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice. Stir in almond butter, orange peel and remaining 3 tablespoons powdered sugar. Set aside.
Separate dough into 5 biscuits; press each biscuit to form a 7 x 3 1/2 inch oval. Spoon about 2 tablespoons date filling on one half of each biscuit oval. Spread filling to center, 1 inch from short end and 1/4 inch from sides. Fold dough in half over filling; bringing top edge of dough even with bottom edge. Press edges firmly to seal.
Place biscuits 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Using sharp knife or kitchen scissors, make four 1-inch cuts, 1 inch apart on sealed end of biscuit. Gently stretch each section between cuts to form claw shape. Brush tops of biscuits with reserved orange glaze; sprinkle evenly with reserved coconut mixture.
Bake for 10 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and coconut is toasted.
Cool for 2 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack.
Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
