Bacon Jalapeño Croissant Poppers

Since Super Bowl time is near, I've learned that these (along with my deviled eggs) are a giant hit!

What you need:

2 cans of Pillsbury® Original Crescent rolls

1 jar of sliced jalapenos 

(I found jarred or canned jalapenos bake better flavor)

1 package of cream cheese 

10 strips of bacon

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
• Cook bacon in skillet until crispy. Drain fat. Unroll dough; separate triangles with butter knife. Use a tablespoon to spoon cream cheese onto the triangles (dropping toward the wide end). Break a piece of bacon onto cream cheese. Place one, two, or three jalapeno slices on top; depending on desired spiciness. (Picture shows the mildest) Fold crescent triangle from the wide end toward the skinny end, then fold sides in.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let sit for about 5 minutes as the cream cheese inside is hot.

 They should look similar to this when done.
