I like to make this with halved string cheese sticks (one half inside each crescent "moon") instead of shredded cheese. I usually double the recipe and serve it with homemade pizza sauce to dip. The husband and kids LOVE this dish. I serve this with a huge veggie platter with homemade light ranch dressing for a quick "dipper" supper. Read More

These were alright but either I did something wrong or there was WAY too much cheese for the amount of crescent roll! Still good but a little too cheesy for me. Read More

I have made a similar recipe "Pizza Pinwheels" from Pilsbury website. That recipe adds another ingredient pizza sauce to use as a dipping sauce. My 4 year old likes helping out with making these. A quick and easy appetizer. Read More

You had great timing!! I had the dough in the fridge from being on sale last week and a small troop of men coming over after a hockey game lol. Big hit very simple straight forward and tasty shortcut for a fun snack. I think kids would enjoy making these with an adult which is a great way to sneak in family time too. I served with some garlic mayo and pizza sauce for dipping. Thanks again! Read More

Great snack. I did add pizza sauce that I made with tomato sauce and some seasoning. It was a lil difficult to keep the ingredients inside while rolling them up and after it baked I thought it needed more of the taste inside. Maybe I will follow the directions and not put the sauce inside just use it for dipping. I also cut the pepperoni up to make it easier to put them inside. I topped them with some cheese half way thru the baking process. Thank you! Read More
