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!
