Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon finely seeded and diced jalapeño pepper/chile
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dough sheet or 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

*If you do not have access to crescent rolls, head to The Brown Eyed Baker for a homemade crescent rolls recipe.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees f. Line two cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper.

In a medium size bowl, add cream cheese, cranberries, jalapeño and chives and mix well.

On a clean countertop or cutting board, roll out crescent rolls. Press seams together (if using regular crescent rolls) and form into a rectangle shape.

With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut 6 rows by 4 rows, for a total of 24 squares.

Fill each square with a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Bring the 4 corners of each square together and pinch closed, leaving small gaps between the seams.

Place the crescent bites evenly on a cookie sheet and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 11 to 13 minutes, they are ready when they start to turn light golden brown.
