Ingredients
  

  • 1 16.3 oz can of pre-made biscuit dough
  • 8 mozzarella cheese sticks cut into cubes
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 8 Mini pepperoni slices
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut each biscuit dough layer into quarters and wrap around mozzarella cubes to form balls.
  • Arrange in the shape of a Christmas tree on the baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Brush half over dough.
  • Decorate with mini pepperoni slices and top with parmesan and Italian seasoning.
  • Bake for 14–16 minutes until golden brown.
  • Brush with remaining garlic butter. Serve warm with marinara sauce.

Storage:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat at 350°F for 5–6 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. You can prepare the tree ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking.
  2. For a vegetarian version, skip pepperoni or use chopped red peppers as ornaments.
  3. Pizza dough can be used in place of biscuit dough for a chewier texture.
