Ingredients
10 large jalapeños (about 1 lb), sliced in half lengthwise and deseeded
6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 oz whipped cream cheese
8 oz shredded Colby jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 oz tube crescent dough sheet
20 edible candy eyeballs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 360°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cook the bacon and crumble into smaller pieces. Let cool.
Half the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, shredded cheese, cooked bacon, garlic, and cayenne.
Fill each of the jalapeño halves with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Unroll the crescent dough sheet on a clean surface and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into thin 1/3 inch strips.
Wrap 1-2 strips around each filled jalapeño, leaving a little open space to place the eyes later. Place the wrapped peppers back onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat making the rest of the mummies.
Bake at 360°F for 16-20 minutes, or until the dough has puffed up and is golden brown.
Attach the eyes where the gap is. It should stick to the cream cheese mixture.
