I’ve also made a Spinach and artichoke crescent roll pinwheel recipe that was more like a savory cinnamon roll vibe.

And I made these red pepper crescent roll pinwheel hearts that I thought were super cute for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries or my fave, my husbands Christmas present!

Oh yeah and I also made antipasto salad crescent roll pinwheels over the summer when the antipasto salad drama was going down on TikTok!
