These Pepperoni Crescent Pinwheels are a “wheel shaped” snack to go with a cycling theme or just for fun. These are pretty easy to make and would be a good snack for a meeting. Younger Cub Scouts will need some help with these, but they are simple enough that they can do a lot of the recipe themselves.
