🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 12 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 22 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Black sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the crescents
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. These will form the base of your witch hats.
Step 3: Add the cheesy filling
Cut the mozzarella sticks in half so you have shorter pieces. Place one piece of cheese at the wide end of each dough triangle.
Step 4: Roll into witch hats
Roll each crescent triangle from the wide end to the tip, shaping them into little cones resembling witch hats. Curve the ends slightly for a more whimsical look.
Step 5: Brush with butter
Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the mixture generously over each rolled crescent. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and black sesame seeds for a spooky, textured effect.
Step 6: Bake until golden
Place crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melty.
Step 7: Serve warm
Serve immediately with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. These cheesy witch hat crescents taste best straight from the oven!
Pro Tips:
- Make Ahead: You can assemble these a few hours before your party, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Add Some Heat: For a spicier version, tuck a slice of jalapeño inside with the cheese.
- Kid-Friendly: Let kids help roll the crescents into witch hats—it’s a fun Halloween activity that doubles as a party snack!
