Ready for a super easy appetizer recipe perfect all year long or for the holidays? Try these Hot Pepper Jelly Crescent Rolls! Soft cream cheese with hot pepper jelly rolled into flakey crescent rolls makes this recipe a winner. I love easy recipes with crescent rolls so knew I had to share this one with you.
So my family LOVES hot pepper jelly. Our Uncle makes a killer cherry jalapeno jelly that we love using on chicken wings, on meatballs, or just over cream cheese. Well, I made some Hot Pepper Jelly Smoked Cream Cheese on the Traeger a few weeks ago and decided to use that smoked cream cheese recipe on some crescent rolls. The result- perfection.
Someone I worked with mentioned having hot pepper jelly with cream cheese in a crescent roll and I knew I had to try it.
So you can use your smoked cream cheese for these or just soften some cream cheese and add a dollop of your favorite hot pepper jelly. Wrap them up, brush them with some melted butter, and Ta-dah…. you have a super easy crescent roll appetizer recipe.
What I love about these Hot Pepper Jelly Crescent Rolls
- Easy to make
- Just a few ingredients
- Loaded with flavor
- The perfect appetizer for any get together or party
Crescent rolls are an American classic that are great for entertaining guests at any holiday or party. This recipe makes 8 rolls, so you can serve them in small portions for yourself and the fam or double the recipe to serve at a larger party.
How to make these Crescent Roll Appetizers
First unwrap the roll of crescent rolls and place on a baking sheet. Microwave your cream cheese (foil removed) for a few seconds just enough to soften for easy spreading. Or if you are using my smoked cream cheese recipe- it is already soft.

Spread the cream cheese evenly amongst all of the crescent roll triangles. Then add a dollop of hot pepper jelly to each triangle. Then start rolling from the wide side.
Next melt a little butter and brush the crescent roll ups with the melted butter and garlic powder. Then bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Then serve warm and enjoy! I hope you enjoy this easy crescent roll appetizer as much as we do! Make sure to stop on back and let me know if you give it a try!
