Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Pepperoni slices
- Mini star or moon cookie cutter
- Optional: mozzarella cheese sticks
- Parchment paper
- Pizza sauce or marinara for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Roll out the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. If you’re going cheesy, place a strip of mozzarella on the wide end.
Create the Witch Hat Shape
Roll each triangle into a cone shape, pinching the seams so no cheese escapes. Flatten a pepperoni slice and cut it into a tiny star or moon with your cookie cutter. Gently press it onto the front of each hat.
Bake to Golden Perfection
Place hats on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until golden and flaky.
Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping. These pair beautifully with Eyeball Pasta Salad for a playful Halloween table.
Tips for Perfect Witch Hats
- Keep the dough chilled until you’re ready to shape
- Pinch the seams firmly if using cheese
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking
- Get creative top with shredded cheese before baking for extra flair
