How Do You Make Witch Hat Crescent Rolls?

Since these cute witch hats are made using Pillsbury crescent roll dough, most of the hard work is done for you! In fact, the most difficult part about making these appetizers is separating the dough triangles without ripping them!

Unroll crescent rolls to form triangles

Start by preheating the oven according the crescent roll package instructions. Then, unroll the dough and separate each of the crescent rolls. Place the triangles on an ungreased baking sheet.

Brush crescent rolls with butter and add garlic to make easy Halloween appetizers

Now these aren’t just plain crescent rolls, because that would be boring! Add a little bit of flavor to the premade dough by brushing each triangle with melted butter. Then, sprinkle some garlic powder and dried parsley flakes over the top of each piece of bread.

Fold the end of the triangle up to create witch hat garlic bread

After you’ve added a little bit of flavor to the crescent rolls, it’s time to turn them into witch hat appetizers. To create crescent roll witch hats, simply fold up the widest end of the triangle to make a hat brim. That’s it! Now we have garlic bread witch hats!

Decorate easy Halloween appetizers with cheese and olives

Bake the crescent rolls according to the package instructions. When they’re nice and golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

While the crescent roll witch hats are cooling, slice a piece of cheese into eight thin strips. Then, place one strip on each witch hat. Finish decorating by topping each strip of cheese with a sliced black olive.

Try these recipe ideas as you’re making your own garlic bread at home to create some delicious snacks to serve your family this Halloween.

  • Serve with marinara for dipping. You can’t enjoy garlic bread without some dipping sauce! Try serving your witch hats with bloody marinara sauce at dinner.
  • Replace the olives with mini pepperoni. If your family isn’t a fan of olives, you can easily swap out the olive buckles on these witch hats with mini pepperoni slices.
  • Use string cheese instead of cheddar. Another simple swap you can make on your witch hats is to try a different cheese. String cheese makes an easy option because it’s simple to tear into strips the perfect size for your witch hats.

How Long Are Witch Hat Crescent Rolls Good For?

These crescent rolls test best when they’re fresh out of the oven. But if you have some leftover, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to eat them again. The garlic bread will stay good for up to 3 days when refrigerated.

Warm them up in a 350 degree oven before enjoying.
