Pepperoni Crescent Rolls

Featured in Easy Party Snacks.

These pizza rolls saved movie night! Super easy using crescent dough from the store. The string cheese gets perfectly melty while the pepperoni adds that classic pizza flavor. Takes just 25 minutes start to finish. Kids love helping roll them up. Made extra for after-school snacks and they reheat great. Watch them near the end so the cheese doesn't leak out. Such a fun twist on regular pizza and way better than frozen pizza rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I make these ahead?

Best served warm, but you can prep them ahead and bake just before serving. Store unbaked rolls covered in fridge for up to 24 hours.

→ What dipping sauce works best?

Marinara or pizza sauce work great for dipping. Ranch dressing is another tasty option that kids especially enjoy.

→ Can I use different cheese?

String cheese works best as it melts well and stays contained. Regular mozzarella can work but might leak out during baking.

→ How do I store leftovers?

Keep in airtight container in fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.

→ Can I add other toppings?

Try adding dried herbs, garlic powder, or other pizza toppings. Just avoid wet ingredients that could make the dough soggy.
