Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeno Popper Twists

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder, mixing until smooth.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 2-inch strips.
Place a dollop of filling on one half of a pastry strip, fold, and twist the ends together.
Place the twists on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving with dipping sauces.
