These Mummy Jalapeno Poppers are a fun, crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for Halloween parties. Creamy, spicy filling wrapped in buttery crescent dough, baked to golden perfection, and topped with cute mustard or mayo eyes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 medium fresh jalapenos
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Mustard or mayonnaise (for eyes)
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wearing gloves, slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scrape out seeds and white ribs. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth.
  4. Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, mounding slightly but not overfilling.
  5. Unroll crescent dough onto a cutting board. Press perforations to seal. Cut dough into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
  6. Take 2-3 strips of dough and wrap them around each filled jalapeno half, crisscrossing slightly to look like mummy bandages. Leave a small gap near the top for the face.
  7. Place wrapped poppers on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until dough is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool for 2-3 minutes. Using a toothpick or knife tip, place two tiny dots of mustard or mayonnaise on the exposed filling to create eyes.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling jalapenos to avoid skin irritation. For less heat, remove all seeds and white membrane. Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 20-30 minutes for easier mixing. Do not overwrap dough; leave gaps for mummy effect. Let poppers cool slightly before adding eyes to prevent melting.
