- To make squares, leave 2 triangles together in a rectangle and press seams
- Cut the rectangle in half to make 2 squares.
- Using a little flour to keep the dough from sticking, roll out each square to make them larger and thinner.

  1. I've liked these since I was in elementary school.
    One tip - they take a little while to make (because of the dough rolling)and they are eaten quickly, so I find it more satisfying to make them in a large batch. They can be eaten cold and reheat fairly well (you might want to use an oven to get the roll toasty again).

  2. I made these with some modifications. I used reduced fat cream cheese, mayo and croissants. As far as I could tell it didn't change the flavor or consistency at all.

    I also added a can of diced green chilies, some chopped green onion and a large handful of shredded cheddar cheese. They were delicious!
