This is an easy appetizer for your next party and can be whipped up in no time. We really enjoyed these flaky puff pastry bites with a warm jalapeno cream cheese center. The pepper jelly adds a hint of sweetness and spice.

Ingredients

1 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
1 medium jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 pkg puff pastry sheet, thawed (2 sheets)
1/3 c green or red pepper jelly

Steps:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix cream cheese and chopped jalapenos in a small bowl. Drop 1/2 inch balls onto a wax paper-lined plate. Place cream cheese balls into the freezer while you prepare puff pastry (about 15 minutes).
2. Unfold sheets of puff pastry and roll over with a rolling pin to remove creases.
3. Cut each sheet in half, then in half again, and so on until you have 32 squares.
4. Place each square into a greased mini muffin cup. Arrange so corners a pointed up. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
5. Place one cream cheese ball into each pastry cup. Push in if the pastry has begun to puff.
6. Return to oven and bake an additional 8 - 10 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
7. Remove pastries from the tin and immediately top with 1/2 teaspoon pepper jelly. Serve warm.

These Sweet Hot Kisses were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use a milder pepper next time.

I love how versatile these Sweet Hot Kisses are. You can use different types of peppers to adjust the heat level, and you can also add different mix-ins, like cheese or bacon.
