Ingredients
1 can crescent roll dough
Foil for shaping molds
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
Optional: chopped green onion or bacon bits
Garnish
Fresh parsley or dill (for stems)
Instructions
Start by shaping small pieces of foil into cone shapes to create your carrot molds. Lightly spray them with cooking spray so the dough
releases easy after baking
Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into long strips. Wrap each strip around a foil cone, slightly overlapping as you go so there are no gaps.
Brush the dough with egg wash and bake at 375 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before gently removing the foil molds.
While they cool, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, ranch seasoning, and any optional add-ins until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the filling into the baked crescent shells, then add a small sprig of parsley or dill at the top to create the carrot stems.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
