These cheesy pizza crescents are a quick and tasty twist on traditional pizza night! Made with crescent roll dough, melty string cheese, and your favorite marinara sauce, they’re the perfect handheld snack or easy meal for busy days.
Preheat oven to 375°F. (Toaster ovens work great too!)
Cut each string cheese stick in half to make 8 pieces.
Unroll and separate crescent dough into 8 triangles.
Spoon a little marinara sauce onto the wide end of each triangle.
Place half a string cheese on top of the sauce.
Roll up each crescent, then pinch the edges to seal in the cheese and sauce.
Bake for 9–12 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
If you're making these for kids, let the pizza crescents cool for a few minutes.
It also helps to have a damp cloth nearby. Little hands get sticky (and that’s half the fun), but a quick wipe keeps things from getting too messy.
And don’t stress if the dough feels a little tricky. Letting it sit out for a few minutes makes it way easier to work with.
