<\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>
  • 2<\/span> cans (8oz)<\/span> refrigerated Pillsbury\u2122 Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)<\/span> or 2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury\u2122 Original Crescent Dough Sheet<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> 8oz pkg<\/span> cream cheese<\/span> softened<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> cup<\/span> sour cream<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> dried dill weed<\/span><\/li>
  • \u215b<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> garlic powder<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> cups<\/span> finely chopped assorted vegetables<\/span> bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, cucumber and\/or green onions<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
    • Heat oven to 375\u00b0F. Remove dough from cans in rolled sections; do not unroll. Cut each section into 8 slices (16 slices from each can).<\/div><\/li>
    • Place slices, cut side down, on ungreased cookie sheets to form trees. To form each tree, start by placing 1 slice for top; arrange 2 slices just below, with sides touching. Continue arranging row of 3 slices, then row of 4 slices, ending with row of 5 slices. Use remaining slice for trunk. Refrigerate one tree while the other bakes.<\/div><\/li>
    • Bake one tree 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; carefully loosen with pancake turner and slide onto cooling rack to cool. Bake and cool second tree.<\/div><\/li>
    • Place each tree on serving platter. In small bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, dill and garlic powder; blend until smooth. Spread mixture over both trees. Decorate trees with assorted vegetable pieces. Refrigerate until serving time. To serve, pull apart slices of tree.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      <\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>
      <\/span>TIP 1<\/span><\/h5>\nIf preferred, you can substitute 2 teaspoons ranch dressing mix for the dill and garlic powder.<\/span>
      <\/div>\n
      <\/span>Tip 2<\/span><\/h5>\nTo make your cream cheese appetizer as attractive as possible, be sure to use vegetables that are different colors. For example, use thin strips of red peppers for “garlands”<\/span>
      <\/div>\n
      <\/span>Tip 3<\/span><\/h5>\nWe suggest not to use chopped tomatoes in this recipe– they’re watery, and the liquid might run into the cream cheese.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[134,2019,618,1598,2459],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-american","category-appetizer","category-baked","category-bryans-favorites","category-christmas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TreeShapedCrescentRolls.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3312"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3313,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3312\/revisions\/3313"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
