Onion-Bacon Crescent Bites

Happy Hanukkah to any of my wonderful readers who celebrate! Sunday my family and I celebrated Hanukkah at my parents house. I volunteered to bring some appetizers and decided to make these little crescent bites. I really wanted to have at least one warm appetizer but I didn't want anything heavy or too filling since I knew everyone would want to fill up on latkes and noodle kuegel! These little crescent bites were quite tasty. They are your typical Pillsbury appetizer- easy, tasty, and wrapped in dough. I got a lot of complements on these and they were all eaten up. I would definitely recommend these if you need a simple recipe for your next holiday get together.
