Drain maraschino cherries; discard juice or save for another use. Chop cherries, then drain on paper towels. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Unroll crescent rolls; divide into triangles. Brush with butter. Sprinkle each triangle with about 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar mixture; top with 1 tablespoon cherries.

Roll up dough toward pointed end of triangle. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake in a 375-degree oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve warm.
