1

Heat oven to 375°F. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 2 narrow triangles.
2

Cut jalapeño chilies in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Spoon cream cheese mixture into chili halves.
3

Place 1 stuffed chili half on shortest side of each triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point; place point side down on ungreased cookie sheet.
4

Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until crescents are deep golden brown.

Be sure to handle jalapeños carefully! The oils that get on your hands can cause some burning, especially if you rub your eyes. If possible, use food-safe plastic gloves when working with the chilies — you can find them at the pharmacy or in many grocery stores.
Stir a couple slices of cooked and crumbled bacon into the cream cheese mixture before stuffing the jalapeños.
