Cranberry Jalapeno Poppers

Holiday desserts are great (Cranberry Orange Cake anyone?), but what I reallllly love about the holidays are the delicious appetizers. All the dips over here, please! So I’m really excited to share this super yummy appetizer with you! These Cranberry Jalapeno Poppers are a little sweet, a little spicy, and very cheesy!

With just a handful of ingredients, these jalapeno poppers couldn’t be easier! I love the flavor of the cranberries and jalapenos together, and I really love the flavor of the cranberries and cumin together. Add in the chives, cilantro and the yum factor goes sky high!

Makes 16 Rolls

Ingredients: 

2 cans crescent rolls (I like Annie’s)
8 oz block of full-fat cream cheese
6 Tablespoons dried cranberries
2 Tablespoons chives, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions: 

Preheat the oven per the crescent roll directions. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Combine all the ingredients except the rolls in a medium sized mixing bowl, and stir together with a spatula until well combined. Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the wide end of each crescent roll, and roll toward the point. Bake about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot!
