Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into strips approximately 2 inches wide.

Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of each pastry strip, fold, seal the edges, then twist to form a spiral shape.

Arrange the prepared twists on the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
