Open one can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and layout on a lightly floured surface.
Press the seams together and press out with your fingers or a rolling pin to 14" x 8" rectangle.
Spread the pesto in four wide strips alternating the colors as in the photo above. You'll use ½ to a little less than half the jay (3 to 4 ounces at the most) for this set of appetizers.
Unroll one can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls onto a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper.
Seal perforations and press out with fingers or a rolling pin to a 14" x 8" rectangle.
Pick up the waxed paper carefully and invert it over the prepared dough that is spread with the pesto.
Remove the waxed paper, carefully.
Cut crosswise down the middle. I use a dough scraper and it cuts really nice by just pushing down instead of pulling with a knife blade. Then divide each half into eight rectangles that are evenly spaced. Also as seen in the photo above.
Now pick up one rectangle at a time and twist each end in opposite directions. You only need to do two twists in each direction. Lay on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until light golden brown.
That will give you sixteen appetizers. Now repeat steps 1 through 10 and you'll be done with 32 appetizers to share and enjoy.
