Pizza In A Blanket

(Courtesy of Pillsbury)
Pepperoni and Cheese Crescents

Ingredients:
1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 pkg. pepperoni (can use turkey pepperoni)
4 sticks string cheese, cut in half 
1 c. pizza sauce, heated

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Separate dough into 8 triangles; pat out each triangle slightly.

Place 3-6 slices of pepperoni, slightly overlapping in the center of each triangle.  Top each with 1/2 piece of string cheese.  

Roll up, starting at the shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point.  Place rolls, point side down, on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until golden brown.  Remove from cookie sheet.  Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Note~  I also made this with Canadian bacon and it was delicious.  The original recipe called for shredded mozzarella cheese but the string cheese seemed to work well for me and was less messy to stay in place.
