How to Make Easy Halloween Meatballs

Step 1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll out crescent rolls on a cutting board and pinch seams together to form one large sheet.

Step 2. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough sheet into 20 strips.

Step 3. Wrap each meatball with a strip of dough to create the mummy effect, leaving a gap for the eyes.

Step 4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crescent dough is golden brown.

Step 5. Remove from oven and place black olives (or other eye options) for the mummy eyes.

Step 6. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, over spaghetti, or enjoy as a fun snack!
