If your kids are picky eaters, raise your hand. Yup, that’s me with both hands up. If I had a third hand that would be up too since I have three picky eaters. If you have been a reader for any length of time, you already know that. So, when I find something that they will actually eat, I stick with it. One thing I discovered, is that they love crescents. You know, the kind in the tube. I have tried many variations from pigs in a blanket to Pizza Crescents and they always eat them. I was trying to think of more ways to fill a crescent and came up with a pepperoni pizza filling. These Pepperoni Pizza Crescents were a hit!

Pepperoni Pizza Crescents

How easy is this recipe? Well, you only need 4 ingredients to make it and kids can help.

My daughter felt quite responsible as she used a dull, plastic knife to cut through the string cheese. Please supervise your children even if they are working with dull plastic knives.

Making these pepperoni pizza crescents is simple. Just add one tablespoon of sauce to the center of a crescent.

Add half the string cheese and one slice of pepperoni on top.

For my daughter, rolling was especially fun. This step can get a little messy as sauce drips out.

I make these pepperoni pizza crescents in a toaster oven since they are super quick. No reason to warm up the big oven. If the tops start to brown too much, cover with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.

Please wait a few minutes before eating these since the melted cheese is hot when they come out of the oven.

If you are looking for a quick and easy kids meal or a tasty snack, look no further. I have to say of everything we made using crescent rolls these pepperoni pizza crescents were my favorites. You just can’t beat the yummy taste of pizza combined with a flaky crescent roll.
