Ingredients
Scale
- Medium-sized fresh jalapenos
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crescent roll dough
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika (optional), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Wear gloves if sensitive to spice.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, smoothing the top with a butter knife.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and slice it into thin strips. Wrap the strips around each jalapeno, leaving small gaps to mimic mummy bandages.
- Press candy eyes into the crescent roll dough near the top of each jalapeno popper.
- Place the jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown.
- Let the poppers cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For less heat, soak jalapenos in cold water for 30 minutes after slicing. Crescent roll dough is easier to work with when chilled.
