Make Something Amazing
Crescent rolls are always welcome at the dinner table, but you can do a whole lot more with the refrigerated dough than just roll it up and fill your breadbasket. You can use it to make sweet breakfast-worthy treats, shape it into a hearty appetizer on game day, use it to whip up a quick dessert and more. It's easy to love crescent roll dough, especially when it's folded over homemade Buffalo chicken dip, like you see here. This shareable ring is perfect for a big crowd — be sure to serve with extra blue cheese dressing on the side.
