Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 treats
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup string cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Olive slices (for eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Cut each string cheese stick into 3-4 equal segments, creating bone-shaped pieces.
- Place one segment of string cheese near the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal and create a smooth bone-like shape. Ensure no cheese is exposed.
- Brush each "bone" with beaten egg wash, which will give the treats a golden, shiny appearance when baked.
- Place a small black olive slice at one end of each bone to create a spooky "eye" effect.
- Arrange the prepared bones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each treat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
- Serve warm and enjoy these creepy, cheesy Halloween skeleton bones!
Tips
- Ensure your crescent roll dough is cold but not frozen for the easiest handling and best texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Pinch the dough edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the egg wash generously and evenly.
- Let the treats cool slightly before serving to prevent burning and allow the cheese to set.
- Get creative with olive "eyes" - try different sizes or shapes for unique character.
- These treats are best served warm, so time your baking just before serving.
- For a gluten-free version, look for gluten-free crescent roll alternatives.
