Tips:

For an extra-spicy kick, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños.
To make the poppers ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them on a baking sheet. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake the poppers from frozen for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use crumbled tofu or tempeh instead.
If you don't have crescent roll dough, you can use puff pastry dough instead.
Serve the poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or sour cream.
