Pesto Christmas Tree Breadsticks

I think this is my new favorite Christmas appetizer! I am a huge fan of pesto and combining it with parmesan and flaky, tender puff pastry is so tasty! It is pull apart so it’s perfect for a party! Each of these pesto breadsticks is super tasty dipped in marinara sauce.  One of the best parts of this Christmas tree bread is that it was surprisingly easy to make.  It only took about 30 minutes start to finish with only 3 ingredients!
