Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F.
2 If using crescent rolls: Unroll both cans of dough; separate dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. If using dough sheets: Unroll both cans of dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
3 Sprinkle each rectangle with 1 tablespoon cheese and 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle, forming 4 rolls. With serrated knife, cut each roll into 8 slices.
4 To form 1 tree, on cookie sheet, place 1 slice, cut side down, for top of tree. Arrange 2 slices just below, sides touching. Continue arranging rows of 3, 4 and 5 slices. Use remaining slice for trunk.
5 Bake first tree 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; cool on cooling rack. Repeat for second tree on another cookie sheet.
6 Place trees on serving platters. Spoon potato topper into resealable plastic bag. Cut 1/4-inch hole in bottom corner of bag; pipe over trees.
7 Place tomato slice on each pinwheel except top and bottom ones. With 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch star-shaped cutter, cut 2 stars from yellow bell pepper; place 1 on top of each tree. Chop remaining bell pepper; sprinkle over trees. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately, or refrigerated until serving time.

An interesting twist on presentation, and adaptable depending on favorite cheese or other fillings.

It is nice to have baked items in shapes honoring the season. It is very nice to have the items as a savory treat as opposed to cookies, cakes,or candy. These "trees" have excellent flavoring as well as being pretty to observe.
