<br>Ingredients: 
<br>2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
<br>1 package Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet 
<br>2 tbsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
<br>Spices: garlic powder
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray and set aside.
<br>
<br>Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until just melted, about 15 seconds. Mix well and set aside.
<br>
<br>On a dry surface, roll out dough into a large rectangle of even thickness, with the shorter sides on the left and right. Cut dough vertically into 10 evenly sized strips. Cut each strip in half horizontally, leaving you with 20 strips.
<br>
<br>Twist each dough strip once or twice to form a twisty breadstick; evenly place on the baking sheets. Brush breadsticks with melted butter and top with Parm-style topping. Sprinkle each stick with a dash of garlic powder.
<br>
<br>Bake in the oven until golden brown, 8 - 10 minutes.
<br>
<br>Serve and devour!
