ReviewMyFood- Pepperoni Cheese Stick Crescents

Have you seen the Pepperoni Crescent Rolls floating around Pinterest? Of course you have. there are a Bazillion different pins of them. Evidenced Below:

With entirely too many recipes to look at, I narrowed down the type of recipe to try. the one using cheese sticks. I thought it would be cheesier and gooey-er than making them with shredded cheese.

Here we go.

String Cheese Sticks, about 1 cup plus a bit of chopped pepperoni, 1 tube of crescents and Italian Seasoning.

~First, when I was glancing through other blogger's "recipes", I didn't notice that they only used 1/2 a cheese stick per crescent roll. oooops! All the cheesier for my belly though, so no regrets.
~Second, for some reason, a while ago I thought it would be a good idea to buy a pepperoni LOG instead of slices of pepperoni in a little bag. BAD CHOICE. buy sliced pepperoni. It's just easier.

So, ya know... I just assembled them, like this:

You could only use 1/2 a cheese stick if you like, also you could used slices of pepperoni. I would use 4 or 5, wrapped around the cheese stick.

You should not need to spray your cookie sheet. Crescent Rolls are by nature, oily.
but you may lightly spray with cooking spray oil if you have fears of food sticking. My Mother is of that type of person.

I meant to sprinkle the Italian Seasoning inside the crescent before rolling it up. I forgot. So, onto the top of them goes the seasoning!

Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes and they will be gooey and baked cheesy and smell like pizza.

I was looking forward to eating one, so first I took the above crooked photo.


And then I took the below blurry photo.

And then I ate one (or 2) and saved the rest for the kids afternoon snack.

My Daughter should not eat things like this because she is allergic to dairy. We sometimes splurge. We always pay for it though. With intestinal distress or with bad dreams and disrupted sleep. Its hard to deprive a 3 year old of yumminess. She IS normally following a dairy free/corn free diet.

When I make these for snack again, I might actually make them the same way. With a full cheese stick and the chopped pepperoni. I would probably just chop up pepperoni slices though, instead of buying another log.

They are good. In no way healthful, but a fun snack for your kids. I wouldn't make them as a meal. As will all things "dough in a tube" its pretty hard to mess up. This is something that would be good "Game Day" finger food. Easy and most people have the ingredients laying around already.
