Course: Snack
Cuisine: American
Yield: 8
Calories: 1cal
Author: Melissa Haines

Equipment

  • foil

Materials

  • 1 8 oz. Crescent Roll Sheet A Roll of Seamless Dough (if you can't find this, just grab some original refrigerated crescent dough)
  • Foil
  • Vegetables such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, colored peppers, etc.
  • Cheese bricks such as cheddar, Colby-jack, etc.
  • 1 16 oz. Sour Cream
  • 1 oz. Ranch Dry Mix Packet

Instructions

  • Unroll the dough, and along the long side of the rectangle, slice it into about 1/2 inch long strips
  • *If you are using regular crescent dough, you should prep it now. Unroll, and seal the seams so it becomes 1 big sheet of dough, before slicing it into strips
  • Shape foil into a cone shape cornucopia (about 4 inches long, about 1/2 inch wide at the point, and 2 inches wide at the top)
  • Here's how you can do that: Cut a square of foil, and start by pushing your fingers into the center of the square, fold the foil up and around your hand.
  • Continue to shape it until you get your desired size. This will be your foil mold. Make one for each person
  • Starting at the bottom of your foil cone shape, start wrapping a strip of crescent dough around the foil overlapping each time by a little bit, and pressing to seal where needed
  • Pull the tip up a little for a curved shape
  • Bake according to the package directions, or until the dough is turning nice and golden in color - about 10 minutes
  • Let cool

Pulling foil out of baked cornucopia

  • Now...here's a trick I learned to get the foil out - squeeze the foil together so it's a little smaller at the top, and while holding onto the crescent roll, gently twist the foil back and forth until it loosens from the sides and pulls it out
  • You can store the crescent rolls in an air-tight container for a couple of days before filling them

Filling the Cornucopia

  • Prep cheese by cutting it into thin strips
  • when you are ready, you can use miniature cookie cutters - (fall shapes), to cut cheese, peppers, and anything else you think might work
  • You can also cut vegetables into strips for dipping so you have a mixture
  • Dry any vegetables that are a little moist on a paper towel so they don't make your bread cornucopia soggy
  • Fill your cornucopia with prepared vegetables
  • Mix the sour cream and ranch packet in a small bowl
  • Serve the cornucopias your ranch dressing or your favorite vegetable dip
