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!

Repeat with the other 5 squares.

Recipe 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.
