These Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Bites are a delightful appetizer that combines the heat of jalapeños with creamy cheese and crispy bacon, all wrapped in a golden crescent roll.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Wear gloves while handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
Fill each jalapeño half with a small amount of cream cheese.
Use a spoon to neatly fill the jalapeños with cream cheese.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon.
Secure the bacon with a toothpick if needed.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each triangle in half.
Keep the dough chilled until ready to use for easier handling.
Wrap each bacon-wrapped jalapeño with a piece of dough, sealing the edges.
Ensure the dough fully covers the filling to prevent leaks.
Place the wrapped jalapeños on a cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Check halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serve the bites warm with pineapple salsa for dipping.
Arrange on a platter for an appealing presentation.
