The holiday season is indeed upon us.  With this time of the year comes yummy and scrumptious foods of all types to be tried for all sorts of festivities.

Let’s face it, I love Christmas and all the different foods that come along with celebrating this time of the year.

But still many main courses are staple here, such lasagna, roast beef and more.  So, I don’t get to play around as much as I would like with the menu for these.

Yet appetizers and desserts are the two types of foods, I love and get to experiment with at this time of the year.

After recently learning all about the Bertolli Reserva sauces and using it for a recent easy dinner time pasta dish here, I thought I could try and use one of their different sauces in this sauce collection to accompany an easy, equally delicious holiday appetizer I had been wanting to try.

By the way in my home, I always keep crescent rolls on hand for you never know when you could use them to complete any meal time here.

But crescent rolls are also great to make all sorts of different food recipes.

One such Italian-inspired meals recipe, I recently thought to try out for the upcoming holidays is pepperoni pinwheels with Bertolli Dipping Sauce.  We usually have pepperoni and different cheeses for appetizers when hosting guests, but being that it is a bit more of a special season for food celebrations, I thought why not try to see if I could make a bit more foodie type appetizer.

This just goes along with the Bertolli® mission to incorporate Special Celebrations with the 5 F’s: Food, Fresh, Friends, Family and Fun.

And of course, I wanted to test them out before the actual Christmas festivities took place in the next couple of weeks.

Let me tell you the pinwheels came out simply perfect and the Bertolli Dipping Sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I was truly impressed with the final result.

So, I will definitely be making these again for Christmas as an appetizer for our family.

    Janine,

    I love these quick easy treats. They would be perfect for my two kids at home for lunch. I may have them even make them. I love using Bertolli sauce to dip fried ravioli. The ravioli are quick and easy to fry in my air fryer and the sauce is PERFECT with them. I also love Bertolli Olive Oil and use it all the time.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Diane
