Cream cheese, mozzarella and roasted red peppers make these pumpkin-shaped pinwheels devilishly delicious. They were a hit at my last Halloween party. —Anndrea Bailey, Huntington Beach, California

Ingredients

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers, drained
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
Pretzel sticks, optional
Fresh cilantro leaves, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in mozzarella, red peppers and seasonings until blended. Unroll tubes of crescent dough and separate each into 2 rectangles; press perforations to seal.

Spread cheese mixture over each rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Wrap and chill at least 1 hour.
Cut each roll crosswise into 8 slices; place on ungreased baking sheets, cut side down. Bake until golden brown, 20-22 minutes. If desired, decorate with pretzel sticks and cilantro leaves to look like pumpkins.
