A couple of helpful hints to make these Pepperoni Crescent Rolls Epic!
- Use name brand refrigerated crescent rolls. I don’t want to sound like a snob but I think they are better.
- Use dried herbs. With this particular recipe they work better than fresh herbs.
- Don’t skip the beaten egg it really does make them look AMAZING!
- Overlap the pepperoni when placing on the crescent rolls. They will taste better and look better.

yuummmyy… its perfect thx
My pleasure. 🙂
How man does this recipe make with 2 packages of crescent rolls?
It makes 16 croissants. I would say 4 people. Maybe a little more if you have little kids or you are not big eaters. Everyone here is a big eater. Could explain a lot of things!! LOL!!
Do you put both halves of cheese stick in one present roll – if not – why 16 sticks??
One per roll. That is error on my part. It should read 8 mozzarella sticks cut in half. Sorry about that I am correcting that right now.
Cut in half length wise so it is still long?
Thanks! Carla
No cut in half the other way. Sorry about the delay. I have been a little under the weather.
Are these good cold? I’d like to take to an office party but would have to cook the night before. Thanks!
I don’t really think they would be good cold because of the cheese. However I do think these would be good at room temperature. Chicken Bacon Ranch Poppers
Sorry but I did not want you to be disappointed!!!
Can these be made ahead and then cooked?
I am sorry I don’t think these would hold up being prepped ahead of time. Unfortunately crescent roll dough does not hold up to that.
Food is a favorite of many people, yummmyy thank you
You are most welcome.
wow awesome, tasty wanna try now. hehe
thanks 🙂
Thank you. They are delicious!!
Could I make these and freeze them for afternoon snacks?
You know I have not tried so I hate to state one way or the other. Please let us know if you try. I will add the results to the recipe.
