Transform crescent rolls into delicious appetizers.


Charles A. Pillsbury founded the Pillsbury Company in 1869. The company has produced many products since this time including the crescent roll. Pillsbury crescent rolls are available in tubes, the dough already mixed and ready to bake. These rolls can be transformed into a wide variety of dishes and appetizers. The pre-made dough allows you to make quick appetizers. The crescent roll appetizers will keep your guests happy, and you will be able to enjoy your guests without slaving away in the kitchen.
