Preparation Steps

  3. With the remaining dough, cut out shapes for bunny ears and bake these for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Bake the crescent bases for 8-10 minutes and create wells in the center of each cup after removing from oven.
  5. Mix spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar cheese in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Fill the wells with the creamy filling and press a bunny ear into each cup.
