MUMMY JALAPENO POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F/204C.
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and take out the seeds and ribs of the pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, bacon, paprik and garlic powder.
- Next take about 1-2 Tbsp of the cream cheese mixture and fill each jalapeno.
- Roll out your crescent dough, pinching the perforation seams together as you go so it's a large sheet of dough. Cut the dough into 20 strips.
- Take the dough strips and wrap them around the jalapenos. The dough will get thicker when baking, so make sure you leave space for the eyes when wrapping.
- Once all poppers are wrapped in dough, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the poppers start to turn a golden brown.
- Take poppers out of oven and insert two eye candies while the poppers are still hot.

JALAPENO POPPER MUMMIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large baking tray with foil and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
- Slice your jalapenos lengthwise and remove the seeds. Partially remove the pith/ribs of the jalapeno.
- Add the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into the jalapeno halves.
- Unroll the crescent rolls. Divide them into 4 rectangles; to do this, you will need to push together 2 triangles, sealing them at the perforations. You will end up with 4 rectangles total. Slice each rectangle lengthwise into 10 strips.
- Wrap each cheese-stuffed jalapeno half with 2 strips of dough. Try to leave room for where the eyes will be.
- Arrange the dough-wrapped, cheese-stuffed jalapeno halves on the prepared baking tray. Lightly brush the dough with egg wash.
- Bake until they're golden, about 12 minutes.
- As soon as they're out of the oven, carefully press 2 candy eyeballs into each mummy.
- Cool slightly and serve warm.

BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a bowl, cream together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin, and cayenne.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of the Essence. In a shallow dish, combine the panko crumbs and remaining 4 teaspoons of Essence. In a third dish, combine the flour and remaining 2 teaspoons of Essence. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the middle of each jalapeno half. One at a time, dredge in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko crumbs, pressing to coat. If necessary, repeat the process. Place the coated peppers, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is runny and the crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with cold beer.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

MUMMY JALAPENO POPPERS
This game day favorite takes on a spooky but cute disguise for Halloween. Instead of getting the breaded-and-fried treatment, the poppers are wrapped in strips of crescent rolls to resemble mummy bandages then baked until golden brown and bubbly. Removing the seeds from the jalapeños tames a lot of the heat, but if you're craving a spicy kick, you could use pepper jack cheese instead of Cheddar Jack or add chili powder or hot sauce to the filling. These poppers can be assembled ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, just brush with beaten egg and pop them in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Place the bacon in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Mix the cooked bacon with the 6 ounces cream cheese, the Cheddar Jack, scallions, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, leveling the surface with the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula so it's flush with the edges of the jalapeño.
- Unroll the crescent rolls onto a cutting board. Separate into 4 rectangles at the perforations. Pinch together the diagonal perforations on each rectangle to seal the holes. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 strips. Wrap each jalapeño half with 2 of the strips to resemble mummy bandages.
- Arrange the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the strips with the beaten egg. Bake until golden brown and the filling is hot, 13 to 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, transfer the remaining heaping tablespoon cream cheese to a small resealable plastic bag and snip one of the corners. Slice off thin cheeks from all around the outside of each olive and lay the pieces flat. Punch out 40 tiny rounds using a small round piping tip (about 3/16 inch) - these will be the pupils of the eyes.
- Let the mummy poppers cool slightly for a few minutes. Pipe 2 small mounds of cream cheese on the head (wider end) of each mummy and press an olive "pupil" onto each mound. Serve right away.

JALAPEñO POPPERS
There are many delicious versions of jalapeño poppers: Some are breaded and deep-fried, others use two kinds of cheese, and another, called armadillo eggs, calls for enrobing the cheese-stuffed peppers with ground meat and bacon. These easy-baked poppers are filled with tangy cream cheese - brightened with scallions, cilantro, garlic and lime zest - then wrapped with bacon for looks, salt and crunch. For a vegetarian variation, sprinkle the stuffed jalapeños with finely crumbled tortilla chips before baking to complement the crisp-tender chiles and the molten-cheese filling.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then top with a wire rack.
- Halve jalapeños lengthwise. (Do your best to halve them through their stems for added visual appeal.) Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, garlic and lime zest, if using; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Season the inside of each halved jalapeño with salt and pepper, then fill each with about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. (Fill until there's a slight dome on top.) Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with 1 piece of bacon, setting one tip of bacon on top of the cream cheese filling, then wrapping the bacon under and over the popper at an angle, so the bacon covers the filling on top in two layers. (The bacon will shrink as it cooks, so you want to make sure the top of the popper is well covered.) Arrange poppers evenly on the wire rack, nestling each popper between two parallel wires to keep it upright so the cream cheese doesn't spill during baking.
- Transfer to the oven, and bake until bacon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Broil on the rack closest to the broiler until crisp, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Tips:
- To make the mummies, use pre-made crescent roll dough or puff pastry dough. Cut the dough into strips and wrap them around the jalapeños, leaving the faces exposed.
- For the filling, use a combination of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon. You can also add other ingredients, such as diced onion, chopped cilantro, or minced garlic.
- To make the eyes, use black olive slices or black food coloring. You can also use small pieces of nori seaweed.
- Bake the mummy jalapeño poppers at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the mummy jalapeño poppers warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Baked Mummy Jalapeño Poppers are a fun and festive appetizer that is perfect for Halloween parties or any other special occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with guests. So next time you are looking for a spooky and delicious snack, give these mummy jalapeño poppers a try!
