The pastry itself is typically flaky and golden brown when baked. The filling offers a mild heat from the jalapenos, balanced by the richness of the cheese. They come frozen, ready for quick preparation.

To prepare, simply remove the pastry kisses from their packaging and place them on a baking sheet.
