Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 jalapeño peppers
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 8 oz package of crescent rolls
  • edible candy eyes

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and center membrane. That's where a lot of the heat is.
  3. With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic, cilantro, paprika and pinch of salt, just until combined.
  4. Spoon filling into each of the jalapeño halves.
  5. Roll out crescent rolls, pinching the seams together so two triangles make a rectangle. Use a pizza cutter and cut into strips about 1/4" wide.
  6. Using approximately two strips per jalapeño half, wrap the strips around the stuffed jalapeños, slightly overlapping each strip. Be sure to leave a small opening for the eyes.
  7. Bake jalapeño popper mummies about 10-12 minutes, or until crescent rolls are slightly golden and no longer doughy. Remove mummies to a cooling rack and quickly add candy eyes.
  8. Serve immediately and refrigerate any leftovers.
