These crispy mummy jalapeño poppers are a fun and festive Halloween appetizer made with cream cheese, cheddar, and crescent roll dough wrapped like little mummies. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re a crowd-pleaser that looks adorable and tastes incredible.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 fresh jalapeños
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Cream cheese or black olive slices (for eyes, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wearing gloves, cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scrape out seeds and membranes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
  4. Fill each jalapeño half with about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture, level with the cut edge.
  5. Open crescent roll dough and separate along perforations. Cut each triangle into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
  6. Wrap a strip of dough around each stuffed jalapeño half, leaving a small gap for the eyes. Overlap strips slightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush each wrapped popper with beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let cool for 3-4 minutes.
  9. Use a toothpick to add two small dots of cream cheese or press a tiny slice of black olive onto each popper for eyes. Serve warm.

Notes

Pat jalapeños dry thoroughly to avoid soggy dough. Work with cold dough for easier handling. Check poppers at 12 minutes to prevent burning. Can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. For extra crispiness, use an air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
