These Quick Mummy Jalapeño Popper Bites are a fun, fast, and delicious appetizer made with creamy jalapeño popper filling wrapped in crescent roll dough, baked until golden, and topped with candy eyes. Perfect for Halloween parties, game day, or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pickled jalapeños, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 24 small candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Unroll crescent dough onto a cutting board. Pinch perforated seams together to form a solid rectangle. Cut dough lengthwise into 12 strips, about 1/2-inch wide.
  4. Take about 1 tablespoon of filling and roll into a small ball. Place at one end of a dough strip. Wrap dough strip around filling, overlapping slightly to create a mummy look, leaving a small gap for eyes. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and dough strips.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together beaten egg and water. Brush egg wash over each mummy bite.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until dough is golden and puffed and filling is hot and bubbly.
  7. Let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Gently press a candy eye into the gap on each mummy.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overfill the bites to prevent dough from bursting. Keep dough cold if it gets sticky. Drain pickled jalapeños well to avoid soggy dough. Filling can be made a day ahead.
