Mummy Jalapeño Poppers
Spicy, cheesy, and wrapped to look like little mummies! These baked poppers are a savory and adorable addition to any Halloween party spread.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Poppers
- 5 fresh jalapeños
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Mummy Wrapping
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 oz, or seamless dough sheet
- cooking spray
- candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut jalapeños in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and membranes (wear gloves if sensitive).
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Spoon filling into each jalapeño half.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into pre-cut triangles (if using a sheet, cut into thin strips). Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with strips of dough, leaving a small gap near the top for the 'eyes' to peek through. Don't wrap too tightly, as the dough will expand.
- Place on the baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Use a dot of cream cheese or melted white chocolate to attach candy eyeballs in the gap. Serve warm.
Notes
For less heat, make sure to remove all the white membranes and seeds from the jalapeños. You can use puff pastry cut into strips for a flakier 'mummy' wrap.
