Preparation
- Begin by rolling out two sheets of puff pastry on a floured surface until they are about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into 1 cm thick slices and gently press each slice into the cups of a mini muffin pan to form small tart shells.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine two blocks of softened cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, chopped chives, and bacon crumbles. Use a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until smooth and well-combined.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while you fill the pastry shells. Spoon the cream cheese filling into each tart shell, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake your Jalapeño Eyeball Tarts for 15-20 minutes. After 15 minutes, add a slice of fresh jalapeño on top of each tart and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once the tarts are golden, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan. Drizzle sweet chili sauce on top of each jalapeño slice.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing. Fill tarts only two-thirds full to avoid spillage.
