Crescent Meatball Ghost Pops:

These spooky Crescent Meatball Ghost Pops were inspired by those little Halloween ghosts made by wrapping a tissue around a lollipop.   My kids had so much fun with these!  Food on a stick is very amusing!  They are super easy, just skewer a meatball with a pop stick, wrap a square of crescent dough around it, brush on some egg wash and press in some olive slice eyes.

Assembly:

Fold the top corner of the dough down to the bottom, wrap each of the side corners over to the opposite side, almost like wrapping a scarf.  Pinch around the “neck.”

Thanks for spending some time in the cloud with me!  I wish all the little ghouls and goblins out there a happy & safe Halloween!

Servings: 6 Ghost Pop

Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Dough
  • 6 meatballs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 small pimiento stuffed green olives sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce warmed
  • 6 cookie pop sticks

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray or grease a large baking sheet (approx. 18x13"). 
  • Roll out crescent dough on a clean flat surface.  Cut the dough into 6 equal squares with a pizza cutter.
  • Place one square on the baking sheet.
  • Insert stick halfway into meatball and lay the meatball in the center of the dough square.  The stick should be lined up with a corner of the dough.
  • Fold the top corner of the dough down to the bottom stick end, wrap each of the side corners over to the opposite side, almost like wrapping a scarf.
  • Pinch around the "neck."
  • Repeat with the other 5 squares.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the egg and the water.
  • Brush the ghosts with the egg wash and press on the olive slice "eyes."
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve with marinara sauce.

Notes

Notes:
-If you can't find the crescent sheet dough, just use the regular crescent dough and pinch together the perforations. 
-If using frozen meatballs, thaw them first. 
-I used Wilton Cookie Pop Sticks (8-inch), you could alternatively use bamboo skewers w/ the sharp point snipped off or popsicle sticks
-I used a shiny silver baking sheet, if using a dark, non-stick variety, adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
