Creating Vampire Bite Crescent Rolls is both fun and straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure your rolls come out perfectly:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled sausage (if using), garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
3. Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles on a clean surface.
4. Add Filling: Place about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
5. Shape Rolls: Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle, tucking the sides in to create a sealed shape.
6. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed.
8. Add Detail: If desired, use black olives cut in half to resemble “bite marks” by placing them on top or at the edges of the rolls right after they come out of the oven.
9. Cool Slightly: Allow the rolls to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
10. Serve with Marinara: Provide a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping alongside the hot rolls for an extra flavor kick.
