I just love the look of these little gems! You can really give them some interesting “facial” expression, even though all you can see is their eyes. It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. I doubt these jalapeno poppers have souls, but you can sure tell what they are thinking!

Although it would be fun to let your kids help you with these, it is not recommended. Children are constantly touching their faces and rubbing their eyes. If they got any of the juices of the jalapeno peppers on their hands, they could seriously hurt themselves by transferring these caustic juices to their eyes.

 

INGREDIENTS

10 Jalapeño Peppers

8 oz. Softened Cream Cheese

8 oz. Pepper Jack Cheese

½ teaspoon minced garlic

Pinch Salt

Pinch Pepper

1 Scallion

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Candy Eyeballs

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash then slice your jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside.

In a large mixing bowl, use a cheese grater to shred your block of pepper jack cheese.

Chop a scallion in tiny pieces.

Mix in your cream cheese, scallion pieces, garlic, pepper and salt to your shredded cheese. Fill your jalapeño peppers with your cheese mixture.

Now unroll your crescent rolls into rectangles (leave two triangles together and pinch the middle together).

Use a pizza cutter to cut each crescent rectangle lengthwise into four even pieces. Wrap one or two pieces around each pepper, leaving a small opening for the eyes.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Right when you take your mummies out of the oven, add two candy eyes in each top opening

Quick Tip:  If you remove all of the little white seeds and the ribs from the inside of your jalapenos, you will get flavor, but not too much heat.
