Cheese Crescent Rolls

When hosting a basic party, I find that the brownies/cookie route quickly gets old. From my experience, it is better to have a variety of food styles for a party... especially in today's health-conscious society. My lovely wife invented (or at least thought up herself) a great easy-to-make finger food that goes well with most spreads. For lack of a better term, we will call these the cheese crescent rolls. To make these wonderful smile-makers you will need nothing more than 2-3 kinds of block cheese and some crescent roll dough. The dough can be purchased at pretty much any major grocery store and usually comes in a tube form that you pop open with pre-cut dough for 10-12 rolls. Cut the triangle rolls into 3-4 smaller triangles and place a dice-sized cube of cheese in the center. Then you take the edges of the triangles and seal the cheese inside. Bake until the outside is a golden brown (some may open a bit, but that is ok). To serve: have several types of dip for the guests to choose from. Jelly is actually a great dip for these, in addition to wasabi-style mustard or peppercorn ranch*.

*my personal peppercorn ranch is made by combining a thicker style ranch with parmesan cheese crumbles and powdered peppercorn. Mix to taste preference.
