What happens when you combine cheesy jalapeño poppers with crescent dough? This three-ingredient appetizer that is sure to knock the socks off of anyone who tries it. Take a look at the incredibly easy steps, so you can re-create it for your next party.

The List of Ingredients

You'll need jalapeño peppers, refrigerated crescent rolls, and artichoke-jalapeño dip. I found all of these ingedients at Trader Joe's for less than $8. This will make eight poppers (with extra dip leftover).

Prep the Peppers

Cut off the stem and slice the peppers in half lengthwise.

Scrape Out the Ribs and Seeds

That is, unless you want a superspicy app. The peppers will create little bowls for your dip.

Fill the Peppers With Dip

Aim to fill each pepper with about 1 tablespoon of dip.

Lay the Peppers Dip-Side Down on the Crescent Dough

Divide the crescent dough into eight triangles, then place each pepper dip-side down on the widest side of the dough.

Pull the Dough So It Looks Like a Pizza Slice

Remember geometry? Pull one side of the dough to form an equilateral triangle. It looks like a pizza slice.

Fold 2 Corners of the Dough Over the Pepper

You have to tuck the pepper in so the dip doesn't bubble out as the dough cooks.

Roll It!

Then roll the dough away from you until you create a little bundle.

Bake According to Package Directions

TJ's crescent dough calls for 12-14 minutes of bake time at 350°F.

Savor Your Accomplishment

These popper rolls are insanely addictive. The dip becomes melty and gooey, the peppers cook until tender, and the buttery crescent roll will remind you of childhood. Remember to prepare enough for everyone to have two . . . because one of these is not enough.
