How to Make Mummy Jalapeno Poppers
To make these fun mummy poppers, you will need a can of crescent roll dough, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and jalapenos.
Then, top them off with candy eyes for the perfect spooky treat!
Slice the jalapenos in half and scoop out all the seeds and membranes from the inside.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and spices. Fill each jalapeno full and set it aside.
Now, normally, you would wrap them in bacon. Instead of doing that this time, we parbaked the bacon in the oven at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes.
Remove the bacon from the oven and slice it in half. Place a half on top of each jalapeno popper.
Then wrap each popper with a strip of crescent roll dough. Make sure to leave space for the candy eyeballs.
Bake in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the dough has browned. Remove the poppers from the oven and place the candy eyes on top for the perfect mummy effect.

Mummy Jalapeno Poppers
These mummy jalapeno poppers are almost too cute to eat -- they'd make a perfect addition to any Halloween party!
Ingredients
- 8 oz whipped cream cheese
- 1 cup of sharp shredded cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
- 10 jalapenos halved and seeded
- 10 slices of bacon, par cooked
- 1 package of Pillsbury crescent rolls
Instructions
- Lay the bacon on a baking sheet on parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 10-12 minutes to par-cook it. Once it comes out, set it aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Using a tablespoon, fill each pepper with the cream cheese mixture, packing tightly.
- Next, unroll the crescent rolls so you have 2 rectangles, a total of 4 triangles. With your fingers, gently seal the perforated seam. Take a rolling pin and roll each rectangle out. Then, with a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 10 long pieces.
- Take the par-cooked back and slice in half. Place a half on top of each jalapeno popper.
- Carefully stretch out the piece of dough, and wrap around the pepper leaving an opening for the eyes. Continue to do this for all peppers.
- Place peppers on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Place candied eyes in the opening and serve immediately!
