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

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

Roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 6 mm thickness and cut into strips approximately 5 cm wide.

Place a spoonful of the cheese filling on one half of each pastry strip, fold over, and twist.

Arrange the twists on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Brush each twist with beaten egg for a golden finish.

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

Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm with your choice of dips.
