Owls, Owls Everywhere! :Flaky Owls

Owls are SOOOO very popular right now, in clothing, decor and even in baking.... so I am rounding up some owl-tastic finds for you. So keep an EYE out for them.... Here is the first (well second if you caught the Owl S'mores that I featured last week)



1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 tiny fish shaped pretzel crackers
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
16 milk chocolate stars
  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Remove dough from can; do not unroll. With serrated knife, cut roll into 16 slices.
  2. For each owl, use 2 dough slices. Unroll a 2-inch strip from each. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheet with sides touching and 2-inch strips at top center. For owl’s horns, fold strips in half and bend toward outer edges; pinch strips at fold, forming points. For owl’s beak, press 1 fish-shaped cracker, tail end pointing toward top of head, into bottom center of dough. Repeat with remaining dough slices and crackers to make 8 owls, placing owls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
  3. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Brush owls with melted butter; sprinkle with sugar mixture.
  4. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately press 2 chocolate stars on each owl for eyes. Carefully move to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes, before serving.

Cant find milk chocolate stars? Idea: try Hershey's kisses
Instead of fish shaped crackers, try cashews for beaks
Well chilled dough works best
