Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Press each triangle into the muffin tin, creating a small cup with the dough.
Make sure to leave a bit of dough over the edges.
Spoon 1 tbsp of cherry pie filling into each dough cup. Add a small piece of chocolate on top if desired.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, leaving the top exposed to create a dome-like shape.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with a sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
