Spicy Jalapeno Rolls

Cheesy Jalapeno Crescent Rolls combine spicy peppers with a gooey, rich filling, all wrapped in flaky dough. They're super easy to throw together but taste amazing. The filling mixes tangy cream cheese with melty shredded cheese and crunchy bacon bits, all folded around fresh jalapenos. When baked, the buttery dough turns golden and crisp while the spicy stuffing inside creates an explosion of flavor in each mouthful. They're great for watching sports, hosting friends, or whenever you need a fast, tasty bite.

INGREDIENTS

• Buttery crescent rolls: 2 cans (8 rolls each), to wrap everything up
• Fresh jalapenos: 8, cut in half and deseeded, adding the kick
• Softened cream cheese: 1 (8 oz) block, for creaminess
• Grated sharp cheese: 1/2 cup, for extra flavor
• Crispy bacon bits: 1/3 cup, adding smoky crunch

Serving and Storage Tips

• Enjoy them warm with ranch, sour cream, or whatever dip you like best.
• Keep any extras in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 3 days. Warm them up in the oven to get them crispy again.

Helpful Notes

• If you can't handle much heat, try sweet mini peppers instead.
• Toss in some snipped chives or a bit of garlic powder into your cheese mix for more depth.

Chef Recommendations

• Mark recommends coating the tops with melted butter and a dash of garlic powder before baking for extra flavor and color.
