Equipment
- Skillet
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent rolls (8 ounces)
- ½ pound bacon (chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 medium jalapenos (chopped with jalapeno seeds removed)
- 1 ½ tablespoons ranch seasoning (about half of a ranch seasoning packet)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook bacon in a skillet set over medium heat until crisp, then remove bacon.
- Cook chopped jalapeno in bacon grease for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste, but keeping the peppers crisp. Remove peppers from skillet and discard grease.
- Combine cream cheese, ranch seasoning, cooked bacon pieces, and peppers in a large bowl and mix to combine.
- Lay crescent roll dough flat, and separate the triangles. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of filling to each triangle and fold the dough over it, pinching shut. If there is excess dough, trim it off and reform the left over pieces to make more popper bites.
- Place jalapeno popper bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
If you want to serve these with a dipping sauce, I recommend a side of Ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.
For more color, brush the tops with bacon grease or butter prior to baking to turn them golden brown.
