Unroll crescent dough and slice 4 triangles into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide for wrapping.

Punch or slice small circles from pepperoni, or prepare alternative edible decorations for the eyes.

01 -
Ensure each dough strip is thin enough to crisp evenly while avoiding overlapping too much, which can affect texture.
