How to Make Easy Crescent Party Poppers
Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon colored candy sprinkles
- 2 Fruit Roll-ups™ chewy fruit-flavored rolls (if desired)
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- If you’re using crescent rolls, unroll the dough on a work surface and separate it into 2 large rectangles. Overlap the long sides to form a 13×7-inch rectangle. Firmly press the edges to seal. If using the dough sheet, just unroll the dough.
- Cut the large rectangle in half lengthwise using a pizza cutter. Then, cut both halves crosswise to make 12 smaller rectangles (about 3 1/2×2 inches).
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips in the center of each small rectangle.
- Pull the two long sides together and pinch to seal.
- Pinch each end about 1/2 inch from the edges to seal the dough.
- Place the sealed poppers seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Cut each end of the poppers 3 times with kitchen scissors to create a fringe effect.
- Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with colored candy sprinkles.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once the poppers cool, cut the fruit-flavored snacks into 24 strips and tie them around both ends of each popper.
