Halve the 12 snack peppers lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds and stems.
Toss the prepped peppers in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until they're lightly coated.
Increase your oven temperature to 400 degrees. Spoon the cream cheese filling generously into each cooled pepper half. You can use a piping bag for a neater look, but a spoon works just as well.
If the cream cheese filling feels very soft, pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help it firm up a bit. Otherwise, place the stuffed peppers back into the hot oven and bake for about 8 minutes.
Switch the oven to high broil and continue baking for another 2 minutes, watching closely until the tops of the cream cheese filling start to turn golden brown. If they're already browned from the initial bake, you can skip the broiling step. Serve warm.
