JELLY BITES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup jelly until smooth. Unroll each sheet of crescent dough into a rectangle. Spread each with half of the filling to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut each roll widthwise into 12 slices; place on parchment-lined baking sheets, cut side down., Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool., In a small bowl, beat peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over rolls; top with remaining jelly.

Steps:

• Remove cream cheese from refrigerator 30 minutes before using so it softens slightly.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 375 degrees for dark or nonstick cookie sheets).
• Lay out crescent sheet and cut into 18 symmetrical squares. (I used a pizza cutter for this and it worked great)
• Cut cream cheese into 18 small rectangles (should only cover about 1/5 of the dough square)
• Top each dough square with 1/4 tsp of pepper jelly followed by one piece of cream cheese.
• Fold the squares as follows: 1) Make a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite. 2) Then pinch tight and fold up the two side points toward the middle of the triangle. 3) Pinch and fold up the top point. 4) Press down on all edges to make sure it is sealed.
• They should look like little envelopes when done. Spray cookie sheet, place bites on, and bake for 10-13 minutes or until turning slightly golden on the edges. Note: They might ooze a little bit if not sealed fully. That's okay, once they are removed from the pan and on a serving platter, you won't notice!
