Bacon, Jalepeno, and Cream Cheese Poppers

For Ryan's birthday dinner, I made these for appetizers. I am not a big fan of crescent rolls, so we made some with crescent rolls and also bought wonton wrappers. I thought the crescent rolls would be too bready, but liked them. I preferred the wonton wrappers, Ryan preferred the crescent rolls.


 you will need:
a can of Pillsbury Crescent dough, and/or wonton wrappers
 cream cheese (depending on how much you want to use)
1-2 fresh jalapeños
and about 3 strips of bacon (if you want... I always want bacon... we may have used more than 3 strips) 

These amounts make 16 poppers.

Oven pre-heated to 350 degrees F. 

Chop the jalapeños into small pieces. Clean out the seeds. 

Cut the bacon into pieces and then cook it up. I usually cut it up first cuz then you have nice, neat pieces and it doesn't get too crumbly. Just watch it so it doesn't burn. Unless you like burnt bacon. But that's weird.

Roll out your dough. It's perforated into triangles, but I cut each triangle in half with a pizza cutter and do one popper on each half. Does that make sense? Sorry I didn't take pictures of that part. You can do it without cutting the crescents in half, and they'll just be a little bigger than bite size (and then the recipe will yield 8 larger poppers).
For the wonton wrappers, just dollop what you want into them, close them up.

Layer a small dollop of cream cheese, a piece or two of jalapeño, and bacon.
