I made this last night, and it turned out pretty good. Theo nly problem I had was the bottom of the snake was soggy, and fell away. Did anyone else have this problem. It was soggy from the juices of the meat and oil of the cheese.

I made this recipe for a Halloween party at work. My snakes didn't look nearly as pretty as Paula's did, but everyone loved them! And they tasted absolutely delicious too! Only 1 complaint...I should've watched the video before I went grocery shopping. I was making two snakes, so I bought about 3 lbs of meat and 1 lb of cheese, since the recipe called for 30 oz of meat and 12 oz of cheese. There was no way you could fit that much meat and cheese inside the snake! I wound up using maybe 10 oz meat and 5 oz cheese per snake TOTAL and even then I had some "leakage". My prep time was also significantly longer than 15 min - "painting" the snake alone took me over 10 minutes!
But it is definitely worth the time, this dish was not only cool to look at but tasted delicious as well. I'm already planning how to convert it to a Christmas dish! (candy canes maybe or a wreath!.

I made this last year. My four grand children got to the table and when they saw what i was serving not one of them would even take a bite...was too funny. I also made chicken "fingers" with a piece of roasted red pepper as the finger nail. They wouldn't eat those either. And of course we had eyeballs for dessert. Nope not touched!!!

I got such a kick out of this recipe! I truly had my child thinking I did cook a snake. The expression was priceless.
Ok - for those of you wondering how in the world Paula could have possibly fit 30oz of meat into this thing - she didn't! Watch the video. She only uses salami and ham and doesn't use everything she has set aside for the construction of the dish.
Another tip - Let your crescent roll dough sit out - in its original container until it comes to room temperature. It sticks better and is much easier to roll out to enormous proportions.
I can't wait to make this again and see the look on the next person's face when I pull it out of the oven. LOL

This dish was fun for the kids to help with. Next time we make this, I will use only 1/2 lb of meat...total, add the roasted red peppers inside, and maybe serve with marinara for dipping. With as much meat as the recipe calls for, it tasted like we were eating a really heavy meat roll with a little bread wrapped around it. We used currants for nostrils and more red pepper for the eyes.

It was cute & tasted good! I don't know how 42oz of meat & cheese would ever fit in 1 crescent roll--I maybe used 1 pound total.

My kids loved it and they are 23 and 16 thought it was fun to look at and very tasty. One asked if I could make it once a week with different meat and cheese combination. It was so easy to make while I watched the video. Thanks Paula for bringing happiness through food :

This was the best! We made it for Halloween just before going out trick or treating! My family requested it again at Christmas, so I made it in the shape of a Candy Cane. This is really a hit and none will be left!
