Servings: 16 poppers
Equipment
- Small Mixing bowl
- knife
- cutting board
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 8 large jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 8 ounce tube crescent roll dough, or crescent dough sheet
- 32 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the peppers and dry them well, then slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds.
- Add the cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, and garlic to a small bowl, and stir until it’s completely combined. Use a spoon to divide the mixture evenly between the peppers, and spread.
- Roll the crescent roll sheet out onto a baking sheet, and pinch the cut edges of the dough together so you have a full sheet. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into thin strips.
- Start at one end of the pepper, then start wrapping a strip of crescent dough at an angle, to create the “mummy”. One wrapped, set wrapper pepper on the parchment-lined baking sheet. When all peppers are wrapped, transfer the baking sheet to the oven, and bake for 22-15 minutes, until the dough is a light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and immediately place two candy eyeballs onto each “mummy” pepper. Serve and enjoy.
