      I added real bacon bits to the regular cream cheese then sprinkled some ‘everything bagel’ seasoning on top of the crescent roll OMWord! So delicious!

      A grapefruit spoon works well to get the seeds and ribs out.

      I made these today and they were so easy and delicious!! Thanks for the recipe! I only made a couple very slight changes based on my taste. I broiled the halved jalapenos for a few minutes and pulled off the crispy skin so they’d be a little bit softer. I also used original cream cheese and added some cracked pepper, onion and garlic powder. And I used cayenne pepper on top because I didn’t have poppy seeds (which actually was great. The heat factor was perfect!).

      I remember being in line at a grocery store. The women up first was buying crescent rolls and other ingredients. She and I and the man between us started talking about what we each made with the rolls. It is so great to find interesting recipes to make with a convenience item like crescent rolls. I usually just fill each half of a large jalapeno with sharp cheddar and bake them. I know that would be too spicy for many of my friends but your recipe should suit many of them. Thanks!
