These Quick Mummy Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers are a fun, fast, and delicious Halloween appetizer made with cream cheese, jalapenos, and crescent roll dough. Ready in just 30 minutes, they are perfect for last-minute parties and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 fresh jalapenos, medium
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • Yellow mustard (for the eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wear gloves. Wash and dry jalapenos. Cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Generously stuff each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, pressing to remove air pockets. Slightly mound the filling.
  5. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips (about 1/2 inch wide).
  6. Wrap a dough strip around each stuffed jalapeno half, slightly overlapping, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. Press ends to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until dough is golden brown and filling is hot and bubbly.
  8. Let cool for 2-3 minutes. Use a toothpick to dab two small dots of mustard on the exposed filling for eyes. Serve warm.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling jalapenos to avoid burning your skin. Keep cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t wrap dough too tightly to prevent filling from oozing out. For milder poppers, remove all seeds and membranes. For extra heat, leave some seeds. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes. Freezing is not recommended after baking, but unbaked poppers can be frozen and baked from frozen at 375°F for 15-18 minutes.
