Be the Hostess with the Mostest with These Crescent Roll Recipes

Chips and dip? Please. You know you can do better. Let store-bought crescent rolls be your holiday VIP with these amazing dishes that will make your guests beg you for the recipe—no need to reveal you bought the rolls at the store, we won’t tell.

Bonus: Don’t have a can of crescent roll in your fridge? Make your own!

1. Peanut Butter Stuffed Crescent Rolls with Caramelized Bananas
If you didn’t tell me that those were store-bought crescent rolls, I wouldn’t know. This looks like the fanciest dessert, but comes together pretty quickly with ingredients you already have on hand.

2. Cold Veggie Pizza

These buttery rolls can even be made healthier by topping them with cold veggies. Serve this at your next party to really amp up your crudite game.

3. Bacon Cranberry Brie Stuffed Rolls

Crescent rolls are delicious on their own. So is bacon. Also brie. Cranberry is pretty okay on its own but put it all together? Bam. Holiday win.

4. Mini Cheese and Onion Pastries

Don’t just roll up your crescent rolls and call it a day. Stuff them with cheese and onions and really wow your party guests. They might just outshine your main course.

5. Hot Baked Sandwich

Forget being stuck as a side dish, this recipe lets the crescent roll play a part in the main course. Extra points: you can drink the extra wine.

If you serve fried jalapeño poppers as your appetizer, your guests may give you the side eye. Share this amped up version, however, and you’ll discover friends you never knew you had.

9. Cheesy Asparagus Puffs

Fancy appetizers for a classy gathering. These taste as amazing as they look, and even better if you instruct your guests to enjoy them pinkie-out.

10. Quick Cinnamon Rolls

You can buy refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, I know. But if you only have crescent rolls, there is still hope!
