Cream Cheese Pepper Jelly Crescent Rolls
Almost as simple as the classic dip. But so much doughier.
One of my very favorite dips in the world is when someone sets a block of cream cheese on a plate and then pours hot pepper jelly over it and calls it a dip. I mean, it’s not really a recipe — it’s really just setting two ingredients on a plate and not even mixing them together… but gosh, is it delicious. Something about that creamy-sweet-spicy combination is irresistible and that’s exactly why it needs to be tucked into a crescent roll and baked. Please meet these Cream Cheese Pepper Jelly Crescent Rolls — they’ll change your life forever. (Or at least make it tastier.)
Would you believe you only need three ingredients here? What could be simpler? All you need is:
A can of crescent rolls. A brick of cream cheese. A jar of red pepper jelly. (But you don’t need all of it.)
Then for assembly. (This is exceedingly simple, so get ready.)
You unroll a crescent triangle, dab a little pepper jelly at the widest part, dab a little cream cheese on there too, and then roll it up, widest end to skinniest.
Pop them on a baking sheet and bake just for ten minutes or so until they’re golden and your work is done.
I mean, really your work was done as soon as you got them in the oven and walked away. Now you just get to eat them. And that’s not work at all… that’s just pure heavenly bliss.
