How to make Jalapeño Popper Mummies

Prepare the Jalapeño Popper Mummies

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  2. Step 2

    Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Wear kitchen gloves to avoid irritation. Scoop out the seeds and membranes to reduce heat.

  3. Step 3

    Combine cream cheese with Guac and Roll seasoning.

  4. Step 4

    Coat the halved cheese sticks with the cream cheese mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Place each cream cheese-covered cheese stick inside a jalapeño half.

  6. Step 6

    Cut crescent dough into strips and wrap around each jalapeño, crisscrossing to create a mummy look. Leave space at the top for the eyes.

  7. Step 7

    Sprinkle additional Guac and Roll seasoning over the wrapped jalapeños.

  8. Step 8

    Place the mummies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the jalapeños are tender.

Prepare the Ghastly Dipping Sauce

  1. Step 1

  3. Can I make these less spicy?
