Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls

I am a fan of jalapeno poppers, so naturally I try to use the same flavors in new ways.  These Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls do just that and are a perfect appetizer or snack, especially for game day.

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.

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.

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 affiliate link to grab some silicone baking mats of your own if you do not have them already.

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.

Sprinkle some extra cheese on top if you wish!  Buttery, cheesy, flaky, spicy goodness.  Sign me up.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 16 rolls

Ingredients

• 2 cans crescent rolls (16 rolls)
• 8 oz cream cheese softened (one package)
• 1 large jalapeno seeds and ribs removed, finely diced (see note)
• 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese grated (or cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, jalapeno, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder.
• Preheat oven to the temperature listed on your dough packaging.
• Line a baking sheet with a sil pad (see note) or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Unroll the crescent rolls and lay out one piece on a plate. Take approximately 1 Tablespoon of the cheese mixture and spread it on the triangle.
• Roll the dough from the large end to the pointed end as normal.
• Place the rolls on the baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each one. If desired, sprinkle each roll with some additional cheese.
• Bake according to package directions until a light golden brown. Best served warm.

Notes

This amount of cream cheese mixture tends to be perfect for two packages of crescent rolls.  The amount of cheese on each roll will vary slightly with the exact shape and size of each piece.

Grab some silicone baking sheet pads if you do not have some already, they are a fantastic way to keep baking sheets clean, keep food from sticking, and are eco friendly!

Use as many peppers as you would like to get your desired heat level!  Each pepper's heat will vary, but one pepper is good for mild heat in most cases.  Use 2, 3, or 4 for more heat!
