Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 10 medium to large jalapeño peppers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 20 candy eyeballs
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Disposable Gloves
  • Small Spoon
  • Pizza Cutter or Small Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Put on disposable gloves to protect your hands. Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise, from the stem to the tip. Scoop out the seeds and white membranes carefully for milder poppers or keep some for extra heat.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Slice each triangle lengthwise into thin strips using a knife or pizza cutter. Leave some variation in thickness for authenticity.
  6. Wrap each filled jalapeño half with a strip of dough, crisscrossing as needed. Leave a small gap at the top to show the filling and for candy eyes.
  7. Brush the tops of the dough strips with the egg wash. This gives a golden, shiny finish.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed, and cheese is hot and bubbly.
  9. Once removed from the oven, press two candy eyeballs into the gaps on top of each mummy while they're still warm.
