    Open up my refrigerator at any time and you will most likely find a tube of crescent rolls. Why? You can use them to make so many yummy snacks and treats like Pepperoni Pizza Crescents. To make them even more kid friendly, I decided to remove the pepperoni (not all my kids like them) and just make classic Pizza Crescents. Since it only takes three ingredients to make these, they are perfect for kids to help put together. If you enjoy Crescent Roll Recipes, be sure to check out our other Family Friendly Recipes.

    Crescent Roll Recipes: Pizza Crescents - these are the perfect after school snack for kids. So simple to make and SO delicious!

    Pizza Crescents

    Ingredients:

    • 8 crescent rolls
    • 4 string cheese sticks
    • Marinara sauce

    ingredients for crescent roll recipes

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. I made mine in a toaster oven which worked really well.

    Cut cheese sticks in half so you have eight half pieces. Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into eight triangles. For each triangle of crescent dough you will need one spoon of marinara sauce and half of a cheese stick. Spoon the marinara sauce into the center of the largest part of the crescent.

    Add a half a string cheese on top of the sauce.

    Pinch off the sides so that no sauce or cheese is visible.

    Bake in a 375 degree oven for 9-12 minutes until the crescents are a golden brown.

    These are just SO good and can be made in 20 minutes, start to finish! I like mine dipped in warm marinara sauce while my kids prefer them as is.

    If you are serving these to kids, wait a few minutes for the pizza crescents to cool since the cheese can be hot. My daughter had so much fun eating the ooey-gooey cheese.

    DO YOUR KIDS LOVE COOKING?

    I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry, cooperation and more are used while following a recipe.

    Raddish is a monthly subscription box for kids that is a cooking club, culinary lesson, and mealtime solution all-in-one. Young children get to work with an adult, while older kids and teens independently indulge their culinary curiosity! And it’s perfect for picky eaters — kids who cook, eat!

    ​A new kit is delivered to your doorstep every month!

    Each kit features a new culinary theme! You’ll also get a shopping list emailed to you prior to delivery so you will be ready to cook. These kits are a great way for kids to develop new cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while the entire family builds memories together. Find out more here.
