Spooky Mummy Jalapeño Poppers Recipe

These Mummy Jalapeño Poppers feature fresh jalapeños stuffed with a creamy cheese mixture and wrapped in crescent dough to resemble mummies. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 12 poppers.

Ingredients

12 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeded
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
Olive oil spray
Black olives, sliced (for eyes)

Instructions

Prep the Jalapeños: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve the jalapeños and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.
Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Jalapeños: Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, packing it in generously.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips. Wrap the strips around each stuffed jalapeño to create a mummy look, leaving gaps for the ‘eyes.’
Bake: Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Add Eyes: Once out of the oven, place a slice of black olive on each jalapeño popper to create eyes. Serve warm.
