Easy Witch Hat Crescent Rolls (Halloween Treats) Recipe

Introduction

These Easy Witch Hat Crescent Rolls are a fun and festive Halloween treat that’s perfect for parties or a spooky snack. Made with simple ingredients like crescent rolls, pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, they’re both delicious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 2 cans Crescent Rolls (18 rolls total)
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 24 pepperoni pieces

Instructions

1. Step 1: Separate the crescent rolls from the 2 cans into rectangles composed of 2 triangle rolls each. Roll them out with a rolling pin into flat rectangles, ensuring there are no gaps in the middle.
2. Step 2: Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce in a triangle shape in the middle of each rectangle.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce.
4. Step 4: Place 3 pepperoni pieces very close together over the cheese, overlapping them slightly for the best effect.
5. Step 5: Fold the top right corner diagonally toward the bottom left corner to cover the pepperoni.
6. Step 6: Fold the top left corner across to wrap around the right edge of the triangle, forming the shape of a witch’s hat.
7. Step 7: Flip the bottom of the roll up about 1 inch to make the brim of the witch hat. Tuck a pepperoni slice into the brim, then curve the top of the triangle down and the two bottom corners up to create the look of a hat’s edges.
8. Step 8: Transfer the assembled rolls to lined baking pans and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding sliced olives or bell peppers under the cheese for extra flavor and color.
• Use different types of cheese like cheddar or a blend for varied taste.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni and add mushrooms or spinach instead.
• For extra crispiness, brush the hat brims with a little melted butter before baking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to keep the crescent rolls crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these witch hats ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the folding step and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Just cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

What can I use instead of crescent rolls?

If crescent rolls are unavailable, puff pastry sheets can be a good substitute. Just cut them into similar-sized rectangles and follow the same assembly steps.

Crescent Roll Dough

• 2 cans Crescent Rolls (18 rolls total)

Filling

• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 24 pepperoni slices

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: Separate the crescent rolls from both cans into rectangles made by joining two triangle rolls. Use a rolling pin to roll them out flat, ensuring there are no gaps in the dough.
2. Add the Sauce: Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce in a small triangle shape in the center of each dough rectangle.
3. Cheese Layer: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce on each rectangle.
4. Add Pepperoni: Arrange 3 pepperoni slices very close to each other on top of the cheese, overlapping slightly for a fuller look.
5. First Fold: Fold the top right corner of the dough diagonally down toward the bottom left corner, covering the pepperoni slices.
6. Second Fold: Fold the top left corner across the right edge of the triangle to wrap around and secure the filling inside.
7. Shape the Hat Brim: Flip the bottom edge of the roll upward about 1 inch to create the brim of the witch hat. Tuck a pepperoni slice into the brim, then curve the top of the triangle down and bring the two bottom corners up to mimic the look of a witch’s hat edges.
8. Bake: Place the shaped crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.
9. Serve: Let cool slightly and serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

• You can substitute pepperoni with any small sliced sausage or omit for a vegetarian version.
• Use shredded mozzarella for easier melting and even coverage.
• Ensure the dough is rolled out thoroughly to avoid gaps to prevent the filling from leaking.
• Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
• If pizza sauce is too runny, use less to prevent dough sogginess.
