01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

03 - Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, smoothing the top.

04 - Unroll the crescent dough. Cut into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.

05 - Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with dough strips, leaving a gap for the eyes near the top.

06 - Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg wash.

07 - Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown and dough is cooked through.

08 - Cool slightly, then add two candy eyes or olive bits to each popper where you left space for the face. Serve warm.

The perfect balance of spicy peppers cooling against creamy cheese creates an addictive bite that keeps guests reaching for more
Kids get so excited about the mummy theme that they forget they're eating vegetables, while adults appreciate the sophisticated flavor profile

02 -

Wear gloves when handling jalapeños because the oils linger on your fingers and will absolutely burn your eyes hours later
Leaving the white membrane inside makes them significantly spicier, so remove more if serving heat-sensitive guests

03 -

Soak seeded jalapeños in cold water for 30 minutes to tame the heat while keeping the pepper flavor intact
Let the poppers cool for at least 5 minutes before serving because the cheese filling stays lava hot longer than you expect
