Jalapeno popper recipes are pretty much required for game day around here. And while the classics are amazing, I love creating new recipes with the same flavors.
And this recipe has become one of the most popular on the site, so you all must be loving it as well!
These Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls are incredibly easy and fast to make. They are also a great option to take over to a party or sport event, like the Super Bowl, because they hold over well.
Easily control the heat level by adding more jalapenos for a spicy snack. But each pepper’s heat level is different, so the heat of the rolls will vary.
I have learned that any jalapenos I grow in a pot on my patio are crazy hot!
The heat of the peppers are balanced by the dairy and also a little sweetness from the crescent dough.
Be prepared to make a lot of these, more than you think is necessary, because they just DISAPPEAR. And really quickly.
They are so addicting and full of so many amazing flavors, they are always a hit. Crescent roll recipes are just so easy and so popular!
Anytime I bake something, I use my silicone baking mats.
They are a fantastic way to get a non-stick surface, they go in the dishwasher, and you won’t go through as much tin foil or parchment paper, making them eco-friendly!
Follow this link to grab some silicone baking mats of your own if you do not have them already.
I always have the temptation to completely load up the crescent rolls with a ton of cheese.
But by doing this, a lot of it oozes out which is a sad, sad thing.
If you love that toasted cheese flavor, cure your cheese fix by sprinkling some extra cheese on top of the rolls before baking!
When I was a kid, I loved rolling up crescent rolls for dinner. These Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls are a great way to get your own kids in the kitchen! They can roll the dough, mix the filling, and even spread it out.
