Pizza On A Stick & Mini-S'mores Clusters - Monday, Dinner & Dessert

Pizza On A Stick

OK, we debated the name of this recipe. My aunt was throwing out some pretty good ones, though! Pizza-Sickle, Pizza K'bob (or p-bob's, for short), my favorite was Pizzicles, while Dione's was Pizza Pops... the list goes on! Anyway, super fun recipe for kids ~ to make and to eat!



Ingredients:

Base:
Croissant dough
Pizza Sauce (or pesto, or white sauce)
Cheese (of your choice)
Olive Oil
Parmesan Cheese
Popsicle Sticks (or skewers)
Aluminum Foil
Flour
Toppings:
Pepperoni
Mushrooms
Olives
(or anything you like!)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to *425. Line cookie sheet with foil, and lightly rub oil over surface with fingers.
2. Chop all toppings into small portions.
3. Spread croissant dough out on a floured surface; press, or roll out, a bit more.
4. Spread your sauce, leaving a little room around the edge.
5. Add your topping, in any order. Do not make it too thick! It may not roll up.
6. Roll from narrow end to the wide end . Press the sides over the roll to seal.
7. Insert stick and gently transfer to aluminum foil.
8. Rub olive oil over the roll (using two fingers), then lightly sprinkle Parmesan over it.
9. Add any remaining ingredients to the outside.
10. Bake for 20 minutes, or until dough is lightly crisp and golden brown.

Pick up stick and ENJOY!!

Variations: You can also use refrigerated pizza dough and cut it up into triangles. I've had it that way, too, and it was good. But there's just something about those flaky croissants!


Mini-S'mores Clusters

Ingredients:
12 Graham Crackers
2 cups mini-marshmallows
6 Hershey Chocolate Bars
Mini-Muffin tin (24)
24 mini-muffin paper liners

Directions:
1. Put graham crackers in a baggie and crush. (You can use the back of a spoon, rolling pin or side of a jar.)
2. Melt chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals, initially, then at 10 second intervals until you get a smooth consistency.
3. Poor the graham crackers and the marshmallows into the chocolate and mix well.
4. Drop by spoonfuls into the muffin liners.
5. Put in the refrigerator to cool and harden

Variations:
You can cut the recipe in half and use regular size muffin tin. It will make six big "clusters". You can also use chocolate chips instead. (About 6 oz for the full recipe - but you can't go wrong if you have too much chocolate - so the chocolate lovers say!!)
