Ingredients
- 12 large jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 12 small candy eyes for eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes (wear gloves to avoid irritation).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, ensuring they are well filled.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Cut each triangle into thin strips to create "bandages."
- Carefully wrap the strips of crescent dough around each stuffed jalapeño, leaving a small opening for the cheese to peek through.
- Arrange the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Place candy eyes on top of each popper to create eyes.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your spooky Mummy Jalapeño Poppers!
