Now that we are getting close to football season, it's always fun sharing football food with friends. We love supporting my husband's alma matter, the Georgia Bulldogs, and we've made a tradition out of making an appetizer for family and friends to snack on during the game. These Jalapeno Popper Bombs only have 8 ingredients, take about 30 minutes to make, and will have your whole house cheering for more!

Y'all have to try these Jalapeno Popper Bombs for your next get together (or for dinner, just saying..), because everyone will LOVE them! I have made them several times, and whenever I do people are begging me for the recipe. Jalapeno Popper flavor is one of my favorites! I've shared several similar recipes like Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese, Jalapeno Popper Cheese Ball, Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers (KETO/Low Carb), and Jalapeno Popper Cheese Bread! They are all SO good!

How to make Jalapeno Popper Bombs:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

  • Preheat the oven and get all the ingredients together; Pillsbury rolls, pickled jalapeños, cream cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, garlic, melted butter, and parmesan cheese. Mix together the filling, and set aside.
  • Cut the rolls in half, then make a pocket and add the filling. Pull the dough around the filling and close it up so it's sealed. Add the rolls to a lined baking dish. Top with melted butter and parmesan cheese.
  • Cook the bombs for about 30 minutes, then brush again with melted butter, and add shredded pepper Jack cheese. Cook for another minute so the cheese melts. Serve HOT!

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. I suggest making the jalapeno popper bombs and then keeping them uncooked in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Make sure they are still sealed completely before baking.

Pro tip: Add cooked crumbled bacon to the filling if you enjoy bacon! This will give it even more flavor!

Want to make these Jalapeno Popper Bombs in the Air Fryer? Here's how:

  • Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray or oil spray. Add the bombs to the air fryer then set to 330 degrees and 8 minutes. Check after 8 minutes and rotate to the other side carefully. Cook 1-2 more minutes or until cooked through.

    what a fantastic app to change the way your family and friends perceive boring and routine finger foods!!! Have you ever tried this using a whole biscuit rather that half? Are any modifications required?

      I haven't tried using a whole biscuit, but probably the cooking time would need to be adjusted a bit longer 🙂
